Description

Break out your best braces, skirt or knickerbockers, and don a fabulous hat, for it's time to honour (or just poke fun at) HM the Queen, on the occasion of her formal birthday.

We'll visit Chicago locations she has graced, and that bear her name (and any other cheesy 'royal'-related things we can think of).

Sorry about the date change. More Tweeds will be coming this Summer. Hopefully the change means you CAN come, and you can join us for a dandy outing!

Thanks to the courageous lot who chose to brave the parching sun and joined us on the tweed ;P

I had seen that. Unfortunately, there's just so much scheduled this Summer. We'll all have to pick a ride we'd prefer more.

Makes sense — keep in mind the West Garfield Park tour is on the 19th and its meant to be the last one.

Disappointing but understandable--we colonists can't be looking all bedraggled for Her Majesty's birthday celebration.

Heavy Thunderstorms predicted for 1-4pm Sat 12th, so postponed to Sat 19th

I know other rides forge on regardless of precipitation, but this one involves vintage clothing and antique bikes, and a picnic and it would be sad if all that fab tweed had to be covered up in vinyl raingear. Hopefully next sat will be gorgeous!

Oh, and folks who show up late may not get any of those things ;P Hey, we'll be at pubs for the most important part of the game - when naked bikers go by!

So, spoke cards, ginormous flag, 16-panel guide booklets, ice-cream cake, and revised map are all ready. Are you?

Correct. Hope that means you can make it.

So this is basically meeting across the drive from Buckingham, right?
