THis really pisses me off. I have ridden the last two tweed runs and they were great days with great organization.
Last year I was a little miffed that what had started out as a nice forum ride was limited and lots of forum folk couldnt to the ride. BUT, Teddy and Jaquie put in a huge ammount of efort to make the ride happen that was the first un-escorted ride of that size in London. There had to be a limmit and that was that. That people outside the forum wanted to join in was a suprise (but a good one) and some people on here complained. I would say that most of those who rode the first forum tweed ride also made it onto the second one last year.
This girl is pissed off that she didnt get on the ride. SHe knows nothing of its oragins (originaly planned to be a few people in tweed riding to High tea in Highgate before a hundred people signed up and teddy turned it into an amazing large scale event within three or four months) and stands a chance of pissing off the awthoraties jepodizing the tweed run for next year.
Enjoy the ride people, I hope you all have a fantastic day. I will do a tweede runny (due to naming rights) down in Auckland on my own on the same day by donning the limited tweed I brought with me and riding to a tea shop for a cuppa.
quoting this because I think you should read it.
