The social gathering brought together approximately 150 bike riders from the London area on a cruise that started at H Huntsman & Sons at 11 Savile Row to the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club. The event suggested attire of elegant proportions including Harris tweed & merino wool pieces, flat caps, ties.
