Sydney Tweed Ride 2013

The Sydney Tweed Ride was started in 2009. After seeing how stylish the London Tweed Run held earlier in the year looked it was decided that Sydney needed an equally oustanding event. Since then the numbers of riders have continued to increase and has led to a dedicated band of tweed enthusiasts who eagerly await the annual ride.See More

"I agree with the point about starting to ride for transport. I didn't quite start riding for transport as a child, but I have been riding for longer than I have been working. Also, my most recent trip was the ride home from work today, but…"

"My office is in Hornsby, and I usually stop at Gordon for a snack. The rain caught up to me just when I was about to get moving again, so I put my rain cape on to ride two blocks to the train station. When I worked in the city, I often rode to work…"

Kerry replied to PeterT's discussion Did you ride your bike today (2/Apr) ?
"Yes, and I got a cheer from a cyclist on the other side of the road this morning. Some people on the footpath also smiled at me. Pretty good for the Pacific Highway. (The best reaction I've got lately was the time last week when a car…"

Kerry replied to Kimberley's discussion Bike as conversation starter
"I've had various people suggest that I should make cards with details of my dashboard too. There are times when I think I really should, especially after explaining it for a few times during the same event."

Captain Dashboard would be proud

Posted on July 28, 2010 at 7:38pm 5 Comments

Earlier this year, I saw a blog post here about having an accessory bar, and I thought it was a good idea. Having about as many accessories as Captain Dashboard, I could do with some extra space.



That said, I did consider that having extra capacity might not be a good idea, as I would probably then be tempted to add even more accessories.… Continue

Love your photo.

I might have had a clue about where your bike was from the listing on your page...

But I was still a bit doubtful since those trees look like Aussie Casuarinas and that wall might be in front of almost any Australian motorway.

Hey Kerry - now that I've looked at yr pictures and read that you like chocolate, I think we may have met on a ride sometime last year! It'd be fun to catch up next Tues, on the flimsy pretext of the Census. Let's hope it doesn't rain on Tues, eh??

 

I'm in Edward Ford (Public Health) - where do you tend to lurk?

 

Cheers,

Michelle :-)

Hi Kerry - some combination of food (chocolate?? Do say yes!), Scrabble and linguists sounds like WIN! What times will you guys be there, and in what room? I'll come along at some point - can't say yet when - for mutual back-slapping and chocolate consumption... :-)
At 4:30pm on August 9, 2011, rococoabean said…

Kerry!! I'm so sorry to've missed you: I was in-the-middle of an Important Task until... 3pm, by which time I found you'd already left. :-(

 

Since you like chocolate, let me make it up to you: I have ordered some very special stuff, which should be arriving in the next day or so. I'm very happy to part with some, to a fellow conoisseur. :-) I'll get back to you?

 

Apologies again! I hope you got some good triple-word scores - Michelle
