I know I have some pictures around here someplace, but I'll be darned if I can find them.
Yes, slo, sounds like the London Tweed Run, but in miniature.
John, that's great that you did this ride/event. I'm glad that 3-speed is not a requirement, because right now, my Grubb is a 4-speed. I am not sure why many of these events have a central theme of alcohol consumption, but I suppose that is enticing to some. I'd like to find a 3-day event with 30-60M rides each day and lots of food afterward and camping, like a C&V Woodstock. Woodrupstock!
