The time is fast approaching when we meet up on an autumn afternoon, all decked out in tweed for a ride through the nation's capital. Since 2009, we’ve been coming together once a year as a beautiful and diverse bunch of free spirits for a stylish romp through our beloved city.
I know that it’s been a challenging year for many of us. Over the year, however, there’s been so much encouragement from members of our little community for the organizers to keep our tradition alive through it all.
I can't wait to see all of you this November!

You can count on our long-time friends at Fidgety Feet to dance to the live jazz age tunes as the sun sets and we celebrate another amazing day together.
