Tally ho for the Tweedsters on the National Tweed Ride
A country bicycle ride with lashings of style and delicious Hendrick's Gin.
If this sounds like your cup of tea then hurry as there are a handful of tickets remaining for the Blackwell & Sons National Tweed Ride on Saturday afternoon 8 April.
All you could possibly want to know and tickets can be found at blackwellandsons.nz....
And you can watch mad mob head out at the beginning of the ride at 85 West Street at 1pm on Saturday (the carpark behind the South Wairarapa Workingmen's Club). The Tweed Ride is a fabulous spectator sport!
See well dressed folk and decorated bicycles as 200 riders take off. Top class old school fun! To be sure - there's nothing else like it in New Zealand.
