​Newcastle Vintage Tweed Ride event. Thanks to the hard working group at Bicycles In Newcastle.
Roll up, roll up! Make my acquaintance at the Tweed Ride and join us for a great day entailing: 

1. Start Tweed Ride at Islington Park 9:30am (leave at 10:00)
2. End about 11:00am at Nobbys for a picnic at Camp Shortland
3. Take a lesson on my Penny Farthing 12-1 at Newcastle Museum
   (note you have to be similar height - less than 6ft)
4. Join us all at Bank Corner about 1:30 for lunch

There will be many genuine bikes that have been restored and tweed wear on the ride, so don't miss out on witnessing or joining this rolling cultural history. Whenever I stop, kids can get a photo sitting on my bike and a rare hand stamp for being so courageous. If you are adventurous you can even have a go at riding my Penny Farthing after some brief lessons I will be providing at the museum around mid day.
