Freo Tweed Run 2014

'Dismantle' have done it again this year!! The Fremantle Tweed Run is on this Sunday, 26 October 2014. 

Those lucky enough to go will gather near the Dismantle Workshops on the Fremantle Esplanade where they will experience a fantastic afternoon of fun and laughter. Dress in your best vintage tweeds (Good Sammy's here I come!) and bring along your favourite vintage bicycle to ride in the event. Don't be too concerned if you don't have a vintage bike, you can still ride a modern bicycle, just try and dress to the theme.

Entry is free and no bookings are required. Search the web for similar rides to get the general idea, get into the spirit of the day and enjoy the experience of cycling!

After gathering near the workshops on the Esplanade at 12.00 midday you'll be lead by the master of Dismantle ceremonies for the epic ride that will end up at the North Freo Bowling Club a little later in the afternoon.

The ride won't be difficult, so don't be thinking that you need to be a cycling fanatic to participate! The ride will be easy and enjoyable.

I am so disappointed that I can't make it this year, I have to go to a family wedding down south. Last year was a real hoot, I caught up with friends I had not seen in years!

The good news is that the ride will again finish at the North Fremantle Bowling Club which is such a great venue. After the ride play bowls if you wish, but more importantly quench your well earned thirst with a cleansing ale as you soak up the vibes of yesteryear.

Here's a couple of piccies from last year to get you into the spirit....

Dismantle do a great job, please support them when and where you can!

Enjoy the day....

Fremantle Tweed Run 2013 - Promo

This year the Fremantle Tweed Run is again sponsored by http://dismantle.org.au/ and the Fremantle City Council as part of the Fremantle Festival 2013. It is an event that allows Tweedsters to participate in a leisurely bike ride through the beautiful and historic Fremantle townsite whilst wearing their dapperest attire. 

All interested ladies and gentlemen are invited, and all are encouraged to dress for the special occasion....kids are most welcome too! Vintage bicycles are also encouraged, but any bike that doesn't go too fast will also be allowed.

This years event is to be held on Sunday November 3, 2013, and will commence at Pioneer Reserve in Fremantle at midday. Pioneer Reserve is the park on the corner of Market Street and Phillimore Street (the park opposite the Fremantle Train Station). It's a great location for the good times to commence.

Here is this years poster to advertise the event.

At 2.00pm the group will leave Pioneer Reserve and ride through the streets of Fremantle on a controlled designated route. After a short stop for some photography near the river the ride will continue to the North Fremantle Bowling Club. Arrival at the bowling club is expected to be at about 3.00pm. 

Festivities, including live swing music, will continue at the Bowling Club until everyone has had enough! The bowling club is located on Thompson Road, North Fremantle.

Last years event was great...although the the weather was not so favorable. At this stage the weather this year is looking good!!
