Jolly Good, Tally Ho: Tweed Ride

SUNDAY: Are you too hip for your elbow patches? Well, hold on to your slim volume of T.S. Eliot, because the District's first Tweed Ride is about to land.

Tweed-clad cyclists will congregate on H St. NE and pedal leisurely through the District, winding up at Marvin on 14th and U St. for a post-ride shindig. Stay tuned to the event's Facebook page for updates, or follow its Twitter feed. Or hey, just watch for smoke signals.

Even if you don't have a bike, feel free to come to the party afterward. It starts whenever the ride gets done, around 3:30 p.m. Although, if you're going to crash the bash sans wheels, at least wear a respectable volume of tweed.

» Meet at the corner of 8th and H streets NE; 11 a.m., free.
