A few months back, I came up with the idea that Roanoke needed to have a Tweed Run. If you don't know what a Tweed Run is, according to Wikipedia a Tweed Run is a group bicycle ride through a defined route, in which the cyclists are expected to dress in traditional British cycling or vintage attire, particularly tweed. Any bicycle is acceptable on the Tweed Ride, but classic vintage bicycles are encouraged. Some effort to recreate the spirit of a bygone era is always appreciated.
Somehow, I managed to organize not only the ride, but I also found sponsors, venue hosts, and a charity to benefit from it all. November 5, 2011 needs to go down on your calender now! So dust off your bike, and put together a tweed based outfit and I'll see you in Roanoke. For more information, visit the facebook event page or www.roanoketweedrun.blogspot.com.
