Another year, another Tweed Ride! After three years of being an organizer, this was now a ride in someone else’s hands, this time ably handled by Carla Bartow. I wasn’t able to make it to the start due to work, but met the ride halfway through. The turnout was decent, maybe 100. It didn’t hurt that the weather was good, no rain and pushing 60F/16C. Almost too nice, as a bit cooler and/or drizzly is so Tweed Ride weather! 😉 There was a lovely picnic stop at the Skidmore Bluffs, and the ride terminated at Old Portland Hardware for music and libations. Fun!
