Sacramento’s “Tweed Ride” is putting on its summer clothes, known as the “Seersucker Ride,” a Victorian-era themed event that encourages period dress and a more relaxed style of riding. This tour will begin in Marshall Park, ride through the northern neighborhoods of the Old City and south along the Sacramento waterfront, turning east at R Street to follow the route of California’s first railroad, ending at 14th and R Street. Portions of the tour will discuss the design of Sacramento’s historic neighborhoods, transportation of the Victorian era, including bicycles and electric streetcars, and visit some of Sacramento’s most notable architectural landmarks.
