What’s a ramble? The Boston Tweed Group is trying something different this year. They realize that many people want to participate in a tweed event, but not all own a bike. So aside from their official tweed ride event (on Oct 24^th) they’ve put together a vintage “ramble” (a walk, picnic, etc) through the historic countryside of Concord, MA. Starting at the Concord Visitor Center, we will cross the North Bridge, have a picnic at the Old Manse, see Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and more! Come join us for this fun free event! Full info can be found at the link below.

The WWII Victory Celebration was a “victorious” success!  What a great night, thank you all for coming out and thanks to all the wonderful sponsors, vendors, and volunteers that made this event happen! It was also a terrific turnout of veterans/active military and made even more special by the large number of WWII vets that were able to attend!  GBVS is very proud to be able to give a fitting tribute to the 70^th anniversary of the end of WWII.  Below are links for a superb selection of photos and videos thanks to Tom Hagar and Chris Hugo.  Please contact GBVS before using any media.  Also click on the “Events” link above for more!  Looking forward to doing this again next year!
