Hi Cornelius,
"Shenanigans has every right to organise a ride in whichever fabric she so chooses"
I agree 100%. However it doesn't look like it gets much credence given the reaction here to the suggestion and the actions taken on FB. Quite the opposite in fact. And at a time when we need more rides, not less. Jeremy Clarkson must be loving this.
"to make out that anyone can organise an event/ride like the tweed run on a regular basis and have it run as smoothly as it does is a nonsense"
Who said this? No-one to my knowledge, anywhere. Any yes, I do know exactly how much work will be going into organising the Tweed Run. I used to run national series 2-day XC and DH MTB events, involving hundreds of volunteers.
All I recall reading was the suggestion that people get together on a semi-regular basis to ride bikes. And subsequently got slammed for it. That's all.
Cheers
Mike
