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!

Alan,

What, don't you like surprises?

We just pre-rode yesterday. Need to do some tweaks, but may have a map generated by tomorrow? It's not very much mileage, and we spend most of the time downtown (just like the Queen did).

Is there a route map available?

Thanks Aaron & Dubi. I've built a bit of World Cup into the ride.
