Post-Seer

We want to thank all who joined us for the Seersucker Saunter this past sunday, and particular thanks to Jill and Tim McGlothlin of the Priory hotel on the North Side, where riders were welcomed to the shade of the courtyard and a smorgasbord of pastries and mimosas. Here are a few photographs, but many more can be seen on our Flickr page. If you have any more, please send them along! We’ll get them published post-haste. Thanks again!

I Made It Market!

As part of the BikeFest celebration, the local I Made It Market is going to be organizing a bike-themed swap and sale. Even better, the event will be held in the abandoned Leslie Pool in Lawrenceville.

ClankWorks will be joining in the market with a few fenders. We will also bring some hats from Octopus Caps for sale as well. Hope to see you there!

Second Sunday Seersucker Saunter Spectacular

We are pleased to announce our second leisurely, themed ride to be held in the glorious city of Pittsburgh. In following with the relaxed style of the Tweed Ride earlier this spring, but with apparel adjustments more in tune with a hot August afternoon, we present the Second Sunday Seersucker Saunter Spectacular.

The ride will be just short of 10 miles, and shall prevail at a slow enough pace so as to never break into a full sweat. The saunter will start in Schenley Park, at the top of the upper field near the turn around in Overlook Drive, and progress through the Park, Southside, Downtown and a brief stint in the Northside before retiring to the courtyard of the Priory Hotel, where light refreshments will be served. The entire experience will begin at 9:30 AM on Sunday the 8th of August, 2010, which coincides quite nicely with Bike-PGH‘s BikeFest celebration. There is a Facebook Event that you can join, if you would like as well.

Additionally, we have secured some bells from Velo-Orange which we will sell for only $5 at the beginning of the route. Drew and I will be there as early as 8:45-9 AM, so feel free to pick up some additional swag for your bike to help you alert those along the route!

Please joins us in our joy of riding and appreciating the bicycle’s heritage on the 8th. Whether head-to-toe garb, or simply in the mindset to enjoy a relaxed ride with good company, it should be a great time.
