This autumn, the Tweed Run returns to Spetses for the 6th year, from 11th to 13th of October 2019. The Poseidonion Grand Hotel welcomes bicycle lovers one again to enjoy an elegant ride on the Island of Aromas with a very British air and a harkening back to a bygone era.
The event initially began in London in 2009 and reached Greece in 2014 within the context of the celebrations that were planned for the 100 year anniversary of the Poseidonion Grand Hotel. Since then, the Tweed Run has become an annual occurrence with a large number of participants returning year after year to enjoy the most vintage cycling experience there is.
The aristocratic character of Spetses makes it the ideal location for such an event, echoing the British style and elegance of another era, with the cyclists turning heads with their vintage dress and especially, what else but good old tweed.
With the Poseidonion Square as the main starting point and the Argosaronic in the background, participants will enjoy a cycling ride through the Spetsian scenery, passing the island’s best beauty spots. A picnic in the countryside and a cycling skills competition, a beauty pageant for the best-dressed entries and the “Concours d’Elégance” in which the best bikes are awarded, are sure to offer unforgettable moments again this year.
The atmospheric three day event will end with the usual party in the lobby of the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, with the group Lindy Hop taking the guests back to the days of swing in an evening of music and dance.
Shiny polished bikes, stylish, well-dressed appearances, a vibrant mood and retro ambience will bring the well known English elegance to the Spetses of today.
The Tweed Run takes place again this year with the kind support of the Hellenic Bicycle Museum.
