2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

Has anyone arranged any press or tv coverage of this?

I tried to get Socialist Worker to send their style correspondent but he's covering the third International 'Che Beret' festival in Barcelona.

Is Socialist Worker still being produced? I thought that Class War had seen of those pretenders to the mantle of true socialism.

It's more of a fashion magazine these days. You can buy Trotsky caps, glasses and shit in the classifieds section.

What are the chances?

not sure... quite likely?

setting off at 6am from yorkshire!!! and riding after i get dropped off at finchley.. can i get an overground into town or am i doomed to ride the 8 miles into town before hand?

any locals wanna advise?

id recommend getting off early (with a slight diversion) and going to mill hill or barnet to get a train into central

leaving it a bit late old boy

i certainly am...
but i have tricks up my plus 4s

Hurrah! Hippy's on board. See you there you fat sweaty bastard :)

I'll be the one in the 2008 shoes, 1990's trousers, 1950s jacket... some of which MIGHT even be tweed.

Hippy in tweed; it's just like that dream I had. Only it wasn't tweed.

When is the PVC ride gonna happen then?

When is the PVC ride gonna happen then?

at about 11 on Saturday night if you can make it to mine darling.

BTW I'll be selling tweed kisses during the day: £1 each, proceeds to Hippy's genital reconstruction fund.

Tautology

how incredible is this... the hustman tweed window, in our honour. note the amazing plus fours on the right (no, not that far right. that's a dog).

right, a moment of seriousness. we did a recce of the ride tonight and decided to change one or two roads that we'll be riding. the maps that we'll be handing out will be 99% correct, but follow the crowd rather than the maps and you'll be fine. if you fall behind, use the map to figure out where we'll be next.

we have to keep at a reasonable pace to make it to our end point in time to fit in a few drinks, so we've decided to only stop at set points. if you get a puncture or have mechanical difficulties, someone will stay back with you to make sure you're fine and you can catch up to us at the next rest stop. the route snakes back on itself enough to allow you to catch up.

think about bringing the following:

• lights with fresh batteries
  
• lock
  
• bottle of water (on top of your flask)
  
• a-z map of london
  
• fully charged mobile phone, with someone else on the ride's number
  
• basic repair kit (spare tube, spanners, pump)
  
• pocket money
  
  

take a few minutes before you leave the home to make sure your tyres are pumped up, your chain is tight and your bike seems in full working order.

when we're riding, be polite to motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists, and when we're on busy roads try to leave an open lane for cars.

it'll be an amazing day! i can't wait. see you there...

@ jd.
