They are some really nice pictures, but I have to ask... just what is a "Pewter Run"?

It's a road run for pre-1950 bikes. Though a few later 'interesting' bikes can participate by application. It's about a 50 mile run. Time distance. So you are trying to modulate your speed for a perfect time.

Held in NH during foliage season.

Got it's name because the founder (who is a vintage bike lover and rider) has a pewter casting operation/foundry. All the trophies and medals are hand-cast pewter made in his shop. They are absolutely lovely. I've won a lot of trophies at bike shows over the years. The only ones I display are my Pewter Run trophies! A. because they are beautiful. B. because they represent riding skill, not just leaving my bike in a parking lot and waiting for votes.

If you check earlier in the thread, you will find links to the event etc. If you are in the Northeast, it is a fantastic event. About 6 - 8 years old now.... and growing leaps and bounds.

Cheers,

Sirhr
