As Erin and Rick would say, “Don your tweeds and mount your steeds” for a luxuriously slow ride around downtown Sac with stops along the route for breakfast and libations. Put on your best duds and compete for prizes in categories including Dapperest Chap, Snappiest Lass, and Most Enviable Moustache. We hope to see you there!

When: Sunday, Novemebr 8, 2009
Start Location: Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen (1915 I Street)
Time: Enjoy a spot of coffee at 9am. Ride sets out at 10-ish.
