Spring is the air and the rain has let up, so it’s time to dust off your smoking pipes and take your tweed out of mothballs! Put that dapper cap on your head, oil your chain, and get ready to pedal with panache!
Join us for the first SF Tweed Ride of 2010, this ride will take place in the lovely town of Berkeley, CA. The ride will be anywhere from 6-8 miles with a break midway through. We have plenty of enjoyment planned for you all including games, contests, and a special performance by the wondrous Corpus Callosum! As always, the tweed ride will end at an establishment that offers libations and cheer.

I won’t be able to go this year, but hope to attend future rides. One thing though—I’m from the other side of the Caldecott, and would have to take BART over (no tweeds on my side of the tunnel). A ride map would be really helpful, and it would make things easier on us BART riders if we ended near a station too. (Maybe the ride will, but I am not familiar with the Albatross.)
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the ride!
