2010-04-10 Sat - The London Tweed Run 2

I think I'd get married just to hear this.

Why? It is a perfect day for a bicycle made for two!

Thats me sitting in between them! :)

I went to Herne Bay with a Swedish Baroness of my acquaintance (not strictly relevant to the story but it makes me sound hella cool so I'm going with it) and we discovered a gentleman's outfitters with a crazy amount of tweed - hats, sports jackets, proper trousers, v-neck jumpers, thick cotton shirts, total traditional awesomeness, and it was all about a fifth of the price I've seen similar things in London.

The guy was hella cool as well, I picked up this beautiful Harris Tweed hat for about £20, and he told me all about the factory that made the things and how they're going out of business etc. Really amazing stuff.

Anyway if you need tweed and London is sold out I definitely recomend the guy. It's Vic Kimpton Menswear, 158 Mortimer St, Herne Bay, Kent CT6 5DU - number is 01227 375640.

Kickass

Yep :-)

Citing!

(rumour has is that if you wanted to participate, it might be wise to arrange to be near a computer at noon on saturday 26 february)

Sweeeeeeeeeet!

So excited - need to go for a wee!

Another great spoke card too...

That's probably the best Tweed Run spokecard insofar!

Any news on Marshall? would like to do it again.

I marginally prefer the last card (http://www.lfgss.com/post1175951-1.html)
The turquoise does it for me

Any news on Marshall? would like to do it again.

i'll put up a post begging for marshalls soon. lemme get a few more things out of the way first... if you've done it in the past and want to do it again though, you're definitely welcome to.

Ta Teddy, will do that, should we produced a new topic for the 2011 one?

David, my pervious favourite was the very first one;

I'd definitely do it again ,
the thrill of the cork
the camaraderie between brothers and sisters
and the extra packet of snuff...

this year's poster is done by the incredibly talented zoë barker. we're very very pleased with it. it's lovely, isn't it?

i'll do a new topic when we announce the date...

I recognised some of her stuff, like her style;

very dapper. that's pretty much the satchel i'll be wearing if i ride it.

Oo satchel envy! Off to eBay...
This will be my first and sadly my last unless you feel like branching out to Melbourne Teddy.

One should be near a computer around that time on the official website I presume?

ooooof.... first person to spot the glaringly obvious mistake on the poster gets a guaranteed place on the tweed run...

no non-drive side crank/leg?

also the chainrings on the wrong side.

Drive side on the left

feck.

also the chainrings on the wrong side.
