What ever you do, don't try the stuff in the Tweed pack that claims to be Snuff...

Shit just fucked me up good and proper!

it says it's not tobacco... what exactly happened?

The bike parking is in a tennis court next to the bathhouse. It will be supervised by the marshals on a 15 minute rotation. I would however take a lock to be on the safe side.

Anybody heading down from Norwich or Cambridge on Saturday morning.

I will be on the train at Cambridge Railway Station at 09.27 or 10.27 heading onwards to Liverpool Street in the East arriving at 10.43 or 11.43 respectively. (Apparently engineering works into and out of Kings Cross mean bus transfer so cannot take bike on the bus).

Look out for me - I'll be wearing a Harris tweed jacket and with a vintage Claude Butler!!!!

Final decision on times depending on ride starting times.

Toodle Pip.

Might see you on the train then. Me, Sparky and his Mrs will all be on the train dressed in tweed, so come say hello if you see us!

You might want to bring that timetable forward a bit. IIRC the Tweeded start gathering at about 10.30 for a 11.30 start. You'll be dashing across central London already late if you get in at 11.43.

I'm certainly looking forward to the stylings of Mr B the gentleman rhymer

Looking forward to it now!

Is anyone riding to the Tweed Run from North London?

How's about meeting up at the Flask in Highgate - say 10ish?

There are some Norths going. BUT, if you are from North London why dont you come to north drinks? Ask on that thread what people are doing.

a few of us are meeting at euston at 10 then riding down from there if anyone wants to join us

Hi, anyone know what time Two n fro close tonight please? Or anyone have their mobile number? As mentioned above no response on landline.
Got a mate hoping to collect 3 packs for us tonight with our confirmations. (live in southampton)

Train arrives to Euston 9.50 - need a min or 2 to stash gf's big bag in left luggage, but would be grateful of joining folks who know the way to ride down.
