Greetings folks,
This is my first telling off by the lovely Bruce....
Now then the tweed run used to operate as an all moving together ride, a la critical mass. Marshalls corking all the junctions so everyone moved as one. That is my reference to 'roads being closed'...
This is now no longer the case. You are now in amongst the moving traffic with people moving not all as one to the next tea / lunch stop. Last year I witnessed many people arriving and meeting their mates and joining the ride - just not being able to get a cup of tea or picnic with the official tweed punters. Joining people is just a phone call away these days after all. That is my reference to 'You can all turn up if you want to'...
Bruce is a lovely person - if you are on this ride, please obey what he asks you to do.
Rides change, the forum changes. That's life...
Peace and love,
Tim
