2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

That such a good day. Wasn't really planning to come and decided last minute (apologies for not quite looking the part). So glad I went. Thanks everyone who organized this great ride.

Fucking AWESOME

Well Chaps and Chappess
I arrived back in Norfolk at nearly 22.00.

Did you catch a train from Kings X or Euston? I yelled "TALLY HO" at someone heading that way on my way home..

Looks like you kids had a great time! :)

Well done you lot, that looks like a day and a half.... sad to have missed out.

Hey, can't believe I missed the ride, though glad I joined you all later. Got a cracking shot of the post East drinks I'll post asap.

Good to meet a few of my future neighbours as next week I'll be a northener!

Just back, pretty drunk, but what a magnificent, uplifting day. No hope of meeting everyone there but just great to see Dancing James, Vee and Jay, Skully, Precise, 50/14, Shark, Cornelius, JImbilly, Hippy and many, many others. I spend all day riding those roads every week and I've never felt so happy doing it. Thanks so much to Teddy and to everyone who guarded corners and junctions.
Hope everyone's post-ride evening was as enchanting as mine. Next time anyone criticises the LFGSS they should look at this thread and realise what a wonderful place this is and how capable it is of putting on such joyous events.
cheers one and all

That was the most spiffing day I've had in an age. Gold star to everyone for outfits, and gold medal to Teddy and the magniferous road guarders and direction givers.

I must says I'm not entirely surprise to see Ononelangster and his son in the ride! thought he dressed like a dodgy Frank Butcher.

Another epic day out on the bikes. Loved every minute of it.

Thanks Teddy for all the hard work, and thanks to everyone for making the ride so good.

Critical Mass should be replaced by Tweed Run, they served a MUCH better purpose than what Critical Mass originally should, after all I genuinely think it actually encourage quite a handful of people to cycles, showing them that they don't need to dress in lyrca tight, big expensive helmet, waterproof jacket etc. in order to just commute 2 miles to work.

Point well made.

Also loved the tweed bike!
Good to meet the maker of my hat, Bonk! Nice 'tache.

Critical Mass at its height can attract more than 1,000 riders. Do you really think you can get them all into tweed? ;)
