Edmonton’s First Tweed Ride!

Royal Heraldry of Canada
Our fine Canadian neighbors to the north are breaking out their dapper duds for their very own Edmonton Tweed Ride!
This is admittedly not the first Canadian Tweed Ride — that honor goes to the First Daffodil Tweed Ride and Picnic in Vancouver, British Columbia; however, it is the first in Alberta. I can only hope this means the Tweed movement is spreading eastward and we shall soon see Tweed appearing in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Labrador and Newfoundland! Then if the dapper is strong we can hope to see Tweed migrate north to the lovely expanses of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut!
Edmonton Tweed Ride
May 24th
Start 6:30pm at the University of Alberta in the “quad“
This will be a social ride with a bit of style. The proper attire for this ride will of course be expected. We will be taking a leisurely ride through the city and will be stopping for mid-ride fortitude and cheer.
There will be Contests for:
- Most dapper chap
- Most dashing dame
- Award for most civilized behavior on the day
