Tweed Ride coming to Portland

Grab your tweed and your steed because the Tweed Ride is coming to Portland. The date has been set for January 30th.
Portlander Jocelyn Gaudi is organizing the ride. She says it will include tea time and a civilized lunch. The ride won’t cost you anything and wearing tweed isn’t mandatory, “but dressing dapper is highly encouraged” says Gaudi.
The tweed ride phenomenon started in London early this year and the idea quickly spread. In the past year, Eugene, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington D.C. have already followed suit.

Now Portlanders, who of course never miss an opportunity to dress up for a ride, will get a chance to join in the fun.
Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, for an excellent slideshow of the D.C. Tweed Ride, check out this story on NPR.
