Ladies. Gentlemen. What-ho! Announcing the second annual Tweed Run, a metropolitan bicycle ride with a bit of style.
We'll be setting off from Central London at midday, on a 12 mile route passing the Tate Britain, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace (no word yet on if ma'am will be joining us), Savile Row, stopping off in the park for a spot of tea in Kensington Gardens, St Paul's and ending with a bit of a knees-up in the City of London (near Bishopsgate).
Now look here, proper attire is expected. Tweed suits, plus fours, bowties, cycling capes, and jaunty flat caps are all encouraged. I hate to be a bore but please, no beastly denim. There are no rules regarding cycles, though we'll be dusting off our vintage lugged steel collection for the ride. Prizes awarded for best vintage bicycle, and best decorated bicycle.
The ride is, of course, free of charge. Due to talks with the constabulary, we're limiting the registration to 400 of you blighters. It's a bit of rot. Registration opens on 27 February 2010 on our website (www.tweedrun.com).
Do bring a few bob, my man be selling spoke cards/raffle tickets to benefit Bikes4Africa again this year.
There'll be more announcements as the day gets closer. I do hope you can make it.
