8th Annual Victoria Day Tweed Ride
Monday, May 20 at 2:00pm. 2pm Registration, 3pm Ride
By: Rory Allen
Here we are again!
Time to dust off that old jacket. You know the one with elbow patches that's got a small pocket with what you assume is chalk residue from an old professor? It's perfect. Become that blazer, shine those shoes, front that frock. It's time to party like it's 1889 (or 1959 if that's more your style). Peacoat or Petticoat? Bow tie with a sweater vest? Wrist gloves or the full opera formal? It’s all up to you!
Have a look at the other steeds and velocipedestriennes, and vote for your favorite spokes and attire.
