2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

WW - plenty of opportunity I think for a more proletarian version of this run to show solidarity with the working classes. Perhaps this is not the right thread however.

i've just had this great mental image of a film spot panning from room to room where throughout london cyclists pull on their plus fours and long socks and adjust their cravats, with a cheeky wink in the mirror, but i can't think of the right song to be playing in the background... don't think dre is it ;)

wow guys....that was fucking awsome....I had such a good time.
sorry if i pissed anyone off with my megaphone!
fairplay to teddy, thanks for all your hard work!
and did i see oneonelangster lurking around in the background......i thought you were far too cool for the tweed!

Can we have a casualty count please. The sweepstakes have attracted some heavy betting.

none that i'm aware of, although my splinter group did veer off a little early.

Defintely the best LFGSS ride ever, not only it's fantastic but it seemed to cheer people up as well as if it a major official events!

I'm a bit gutted I missed this now :( Any chance of another themed ride some point in the near futureeee? Ideas?

I want to see photos of you dapper chaps and chappets.

I must says I think it's definitely going to be a yearly ride now.

I saw you all today along the Hackney Road and though it was truely spiffing. I had been locked out of my flat for 2 hours in my slippers - the shoal of tweed made it all worth it. Hope to join in next time.

Massive thanks to Teddy and everyone else who contributed to a superb day out. The uplifting effects of Tweed were in full effect all over town; I've never seen so many grins in this dirty old city.

You lot passed by my shop in pall mall today and i must say you all look very dapper, shame i missed maybe next year...!!

have we got any more photos??
i was sticking to the order of the day and shooting on film, so need to get it developed.

gutted i was working today was hoping to catch a river of tweed rolling through the streets. from the photo above looks as though a lot of effort went in to the get up. i doth my cap to you dapper ladies and gents.

That really was absolutely splendid. I think more photos will exist than at which a stick can be shaken.

who's mixing it up with the wht/blk/rd J1s??!!!! Wish I could have done this :(

Absolutely fantastic. Photo time, who's got some?

Here's a few that I took:

I spotted 2 of you guys riding towards the event (around noon outside the Fulham cinema): that was some seriously impressive outfit, chapeau bas, as we say in French!
