A country bicycle ride with lashings of style and delicious Hendrick's Gin.

If this sounds like your cup of tea then hurry as there are a handful of tickets remaining for the Blackwell & Sons National Tweed Ride on Saturday afternoon 8 April.

All you could possibly want to know and tickets can be found at blackwellandsons.nz... And you can watch mad mob head out at the beginning of the ride at 85 West Street at 1pm on Saturday (the carpark behind the South Wairarapa Workingmen's Club).

The Tweed Ride is a fabulous spectator sport! See well dressed folk and decorated bicycles as 200 riders take off. Top class old school fun! To be sure - there's nothing else like it in New Zealand.

Depending on what you want to use it for it would be fine as is but a little freshen up would make it almost as new.
In the photo it looks wrinkled by I had just unrolled it and a vaccum or lying flat for a while will smooth it out.

It comes from a smoke free home and been in dry storage for a few years. Time to move it on.

Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Thanks for looking.

They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?
