Cheesy posed shot I know. If anyone gets a good shot of us in action let me know - I'll be very grateful.

Ed looks better with the beard.

I was at work when the tickets went on sale, ready to swoop the second it hit midday when some git rang me with 7 seconds to go, so I missed out, but was on the wait list and have now got a ticket. Hurrah! Now need to sort outfit :-)

Have a selection of jackets plus shirts ties bow ties and even a cummerbund or two...

Forumites,
I have 3 spare tickets as both the good lady and myself were successful and the tweed run didn't want them back!
To be sold as one at face value.
Preference given to those with children.
Tickets swapped over online on receipt of payment via PayPal (you pay the fees) or meet me in Canary Wharf to pay cash.
First to PM me with what you and your partner/children will ride gets them but will need to pay same day.
If no one with kids wants them, will come available to anyone else tomorrow.

Still got these. Would prefer that the went to someone on here before I post on their FB page.

Yes please - I have a friend who really wants to do the run with his wife and daughter

Sorry, correction - he wouldn't bring his daughter, just his wife. Would still love to take two of the tickets - if it's all or nothing I'm sure he'd take them all off your hands.

so i got tickets to this and it's kind up come up quicker than i expected and i've not prepared... i don't fancy bringing down 2 bikes on the train from yorkshire so thought maybe boris bikes but just looked at the price! £37 each for 6 hours use - harsh

any alternatives out there?

Borrow someones bike?

anyone want to lend me and my missus a bike? ;)

I have a BSA shopper complete with basket that you are welcome to borrow.

(like this)

Just remembered my registration packs!!!

Fuuuuu...

Can anyone possibly pick up the packs for me and Mrs Lucifer, and pass them onto us on Saturday? I can email the form thingy.

Many thanks!

Lucy, what do I need to do?

^just PM'ed you, buddy!

I've got a couple of tweed jackets if anyone wants? One is a custom made greenish tweed longer jacket, almost a frock coat, with no makers name, fits me at 42" chest, but my arms are too long, the other is a proper Harris tweed in a kind of beige fleck, again fits me, but a bit tight across the shoulders. Price is only £20 each collected from near Stansted airport.....I imagine post will be quite expensive, as they have a goodly heft to them!

Couple of showers, maybe.
It'll be fine.

Sadly not riding it this year but keen to come and take some pics at the start point - is the muster point UCL Quad at 10am?

Looking forward to seeing you and the better half too, old stick!

Could be a tad warm in full tweed - I'm opting for lighter apparel this year, foregoing the hacking jacket.

Need to go to my storage locker to collect my Tweed tonight and also change the rear tyre on the bike. Have been procrastinating doing this as it's got a drum brake and centre pull calliper and it's always a nightmare to get back on.
I'll be on my blue 1979 Pashley Ladyback Tandem with my young daughter on the back (feet not long enough to reach the pedals so she rests them on the sloping top tube). Say hi if you see us.
