Description

To celebrate Bonfire Night (two days late), British Bicycles of Chicago is hosting the 2009 Bonfire Night Tweed Ride. Don your best woollies, pocket your flask, strap some combustibles (wood preferred) to your bicycle and join us! Effigies are welcome and old clothing donations for the Guy are appreciated. Just remember they will be burned, so make it something of no use to anyone.

We will ride approximately 17 miles at a relaxed pace, from North to South Sides with several fortifying stops along the way. We will take in parkland, industrial and residential areas as darkness falls. The finale will be the building and lighting of a bonfire at Bubbly Dynamics to commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

Warm yourself by the glow of a bonfire after riding in style with friends old and new! Cue sheets and prizes (fleecy and tweedy) will be provided. The route is posted here: www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Bonfire-Tweed-Ride-route

Comment by Reddog (Cliff) on November 8, 2009 at 12:46am: It's the Stalinists and the Trotskyites you really have to watch out for.

I had to bail early (work in the morning) but I had a good time riding in unbelievably awesome weather on the Tweed ride.
It was nice to put some new faces to screen names. A good time was had by all.

Comment by Spencer "Thunderball" Thayer! on November 8, 2009 at 12:41am: My phone died so I couldn't meet back up with you guys. That's okay cause I ended up debating some Leninist's you know about Lenin being a douche bag and stuff.
