Invercargill here we come

Stumbled upon a lovely Raleigh Randonneur Touring Bike over the weekend for $20 from the local Sacred Heart School Fair. More photos and details here

Rain, hail or shine the Gentlemen's Ride will go ahead next Friday 20th March. 5pm the Paddington Pub in Parnell, leaving along Tamaki Drive sometime around 6pm. Bring a brolly if it looks inclement.

Preparations by the individual riders seems to be coming along nicely with both Trade Me and the Salvation Army Outlet Stores reporting a flurry of sales of old bicycles and tweed three-piece suits respectively.

For those gents still looking for sartorial inspiration I'd recommend a quick gander of the recent Tweed Run in London. Splendid stuff.

Lady riders may likewise want to peruse the ever lovely Copenhagen Cycle Chic

If anyone is short of a bicycle I may be able to rustle up a fairly respectable 1980 Healing 10-speed, complete with original kickstand. Just let me know

Please pass on this message to others you know who may wish to join us on the day.
