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

Don't recall this happening but bravo all the same!

Two questions;

1. Where can I buy a Penny Farthing?
   
2. Can I please, please, please have a ticket for next year already?

this might help if you really want an ordinary.

Of they are, what silly world would we be living in when you couldn't link to another website?

Heh, yes I do, it's just the group shot and getting home have eluded my memory.

on my journey from the bathhouse to the green man i stopped and asked a charming man directions. he was busy photographing a shop front. he asked if he could take a picture of me. when i told him one of the reasons i was dressed the way i was he asked if it would be possible for him to come along and take a couple of pictures. the results are amazing. his name is simon armstrong and this is the group picture he took.

I love all the photos from the day, but this one has captured the joyous atmosphere perfectly. For that reason, this is my favourite shot without a doubt.

Bloody well done Gerald for finding this guy!

I can help point you in the right direction for question No.1. Maybe PM me and we can talk in more detail as it depends if you want a new-ish robust replica for racing, touring and urban everyday riding or you are after an original ordinary. Have you ridden one yet? You are most welcome to pop by and have a ride on my pf. Great news that you want one - the more the merrier!

with his permission i have added the others to the flickr set i already had up

i have exchanged a couple of emails with him since saturday and he is very nice. if anybody wants higher resolution copies emailed to them he can do that for you.

his website addr is www.simonarmstrong.com

he was really taken by the enthusiasm and spirit of the forum and will try to catch us on the marathon day ride or any other gatherings. there is something else but teddy can talk about that.

.........blah,blah......

Bloody well done Gerald for finding this guy!

I'd also like to add my thanks to Teddy and everyone else who made it an exceptionally pleasant day out. Oh, and to Velocio for picking my winning entry in the tickets comp!

Nice.

What a brilliant day. Endless thanks to the marvellous Ted and Jacqui, the invisble and dedicated volunteers, the brave and heroic marshalls, the spiffing sponsors and the support of this fantastic community.

We are so thrilled to have been involved we've dedicated the entire week to it at the Guvnor Owners' Club.
