New Year’s Day Tweed Ride

Our local Tweedsters partook in a New Year’s Day ride this year. We missed the ride, but from all reports it was a fun time (though they did get a little wet). This was the second in what we hope will be a long series of these jovial excursions. The next ride is on the schedule for March 28th.

I agree! That’s Ed Cox, the City of Sacramento’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator.

@Andy
Looking good with that rando bag and orange scarf… :-)
@ Andy E. Hey Andy I had a blast riding with you and the rest of the Tweed folks! I had the black Raleigh super course. Wasn’t the pizza the best! Hot Italian is great! Well, just had to chime in, see you next time, Dougman.

It’s actually an orange stripe on my wool jersey! The bag is an ostrich, and there is a matching seatbag on back.

Hey man! yeah it was a lot of fun eh? That SC of yours was pretty sweet. I didn’t make it to Hot Italian, had stuff to do @ home. The food there is pretty good though. See you next time!
@ Andy E. Oh, that’s right you split off, (old man forgets a lot)! We did dry out and consume a bunch of great pizzas. They even made us a special “New Years” pizza that had lentil beans and pork. It is a tradition the Italians do to symbolize wealth and prosperity. Well, I loved your International too! Hey, see ya’ on the March (dry I hope) ride Andy. Dougman.
Someone needs to make tweed helmet covers.
Dougman@ Leaf S. Hey, if you invent those Tweed helmet covers I want a Haring bone one!
Hey Doug, first I need to develop the wicker helmet for them to cover. Or someone could bring back the hairnet but instead of leather it could be tweed covered.
Oh, what we silly humans do for style!
Sadly the Sac Bee story link is broken. Can’t find it via search either.
