Sorry about the post teasing you with photos of the ride. We are having technical difficulties at this time with the plug in. You can visit me (Brian Clifton) on Facebook and look at a few of the photos I posted today. There will be many more to come!

Right-o! The following is a Tweed Service Announcement:

The countdown has begun! Only 4 more days until The Sacramento Spring Tweed Ride! We can’t wait to see what dashing duds and swanky swag you’ve come up with. Of course we want to remind you that the point of the adventure is not what you wear…but rather HOW you wear it. Same goes for your mode of transportation!

As you may already know, our adventure begins with a guided tour of the Fremont Community Gardens, led by Bill Maynard.  Bill Maynard is a Sacramento County Master Gardener, a volunteer Master Gardener for the Sacramento County Cooperative Extension, the Community Garden Program Coordinator for the City of Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation Community Garden, Founder of the Sacramento Area Community Garden Coalition, and the Vice-President of the American Community Gardening Association.  For more Garden info, visit: www.facebook.com/#!/FremontCommunityGarden?fref=ts

After some Spring Garden inspiration, we will head to…

…Old Sacramento, specifically the Backdoor Lounge, a fixture with a long Sacramento history. Those who don’t want visit the Lounge might wish to pick up some last minute Snacks or Accessories around Old Sac. We’ll have an hour to wander about and do just that. For more info on everything the Old Sacramento has to offer, visit: www.OldSacramento.com

Then it’s off to…

 … Camp Pollock!  We have officially reserved the Camp Pollock picnic area, located along the beautiful Lower American River Parkway. There are picnic tables and bathrooms on site, and we have the option to use the historic 1924 Lodge should the weather turn…unfavorable. Then again… tweed IS waterproof…

For more info on this historic and super nifty place, visit:

And did I mention that we are also lucky enough to have the Addisons Originals Food Truck meeting us there at 1:30pm? Just for people who don’t want to pack their own picnics but still packed an appetite.

To see their tantalizing menu, visit:  www.Addisonsoriginals.com

From Camp Pollock we will meander back to end our day at Hot Italian for libations. For their lists of Libations and Delicacies, visit: www.Hotitalian.net

Tally-Ho!

This concludes the Tweed Service Announcement, wot wot.

It’s time to shine up those spats, dust off your jodphurs and iron out that Tweed!
