2010-04-10 Sat - The Tweed Run 2 (Discussion)

So do their 'blog posts' ever get any longer than four lines?

Not really.

They're able to use perhaps six or seven lines of text if they punctuate it with tons of images:
http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/blike-cycling-blog/2010/01/snow-fun-anymore-we-miss-our-b.html

I get the distinct impression that they don't care about the bike blog at all, and that they just have a standard staffer knock out a new post on a schedule with no thought going into it at all. They must've loved it when the press release arrived from the tweed run, they get to launch into their standard flow of vitriol rather than have to try and pretend to like cycling.

Thanks to coppi I got me some knee length socks. How do I wear them inconjuntion with breeks?

I assume a gap isn't acceptable, so the socks go over the bottom of the breeks?

.............. How do I wear them inconjuntion with breeks?.................blah,blah

When is Easter this year? Hope it's not on Easter, because I'm away.
Also, it's my birthday on the 10th, so it would be grand to be there.

a scholar and a gentleman, thank you once again

to tie the flashes, pull the socks up over your knees. tie them in a square not and fold the sock tops over. let the flashes hang out.

the hunt style seems to be to pull the tops of your socks over the breeks. though i think it's a bit tacky (and don't get me started on the wellies)

socks under plus-fours is the way to go.

Hey man, see you there!

Would you believe it. I'm supposed to be Morris dancing that day! Now I'm torn between dressing funny and having people give me strange looks or...

dressing funny and having people give me strange looks!

oh please come and morris dance at the tweed run!

So if the local constabulary are limiting participation to 400 will they be out to accompany on our ride. If so we really should make an effort to get them into appropriate attire?

Sir Robin Wales with some Peelers in Victorian police uniforms:

yippee... i'm in the london cyclist magazine, cheers teddy/roxy. i dont have a copy so i can't fully share my joy with you all.

I just stumbled across this on That Meganet...

Bit of a liberty no?

You'd think the Boston Tea Party never happened.
