2011-04-09 Sat - The London Tweed Run 3

Sounds good! My train leaves at 2-ish though - don't want a repeat performance of last year!

Where in West Yorkshire, Brillo?

Ackworth village- about 12 miles from Leeds. I remember chatting to a chap from over Doncaster way on last years run whilst leaving Hyde Park- wasn't you was it?

No, I'm from Pudsey (for my sins). Still in the Rhubarb Triangle though!

Nice part of the world, Ackworth. We went through there a couple of weeks back to buy a new car out Ponticarlo way!

Ah, yes! The Rhubarb! I shall endeavour to make a saddle bag shaped crumble to offer up at the afternoon tea break.

i've been getting a lot (A LOT) of email questions about registration. some answers here.

Bloody small world - i grew up in Upton, been down in London's famous London for nearly 5 years now and counting...

Suddenly the money/time/love/blood/sweat/tears/girlfriend's patience/etc spent getting my '52 Hobbs of Barbican built up has a real purpose! (certainly more worthy than the hallowed 'readers bikes' pages of bloody classic lightweights...)

Looking forward to meeting a few of yous...

Teddy,
I hate to be a pain in the arse, but in your FAQ you mention an eight year child, does the same apply to 1 and 4 year olds? Or is this only if they are on their own bike?

Ta.

Aha, then I shall give your hometown a wave from my kitchen window! Best of luck to you for the registration...

Ta.

if your one-year old child can bike 10 miles, they're welcome along.

lolz
10mile TTer,
Jokes aside I wasthinking about putting my 2yrold on a cross bar seat, thats what he could mean T.

if you've got your kid on a crossbar seat, they don't need to be registered. if they're riding a bike, they will though. either way, i'd advise you to have them avoid the cocktails at the end.

last year's best vintage bicycle competition was won by an eight-year old girl. she was amazeling.

Got a pal's wedding on the Friday before, GUTTED.

Thanks, Teddy, they'll be in a trailer. I guess I'll have to drink their cocktails for them.

The girl who won the best vintage bicycle was amazing, not only 10 miles, but also 4 hours, and she was smiling the whole way.

she was my favorite rider last year, not a peep of english - understood, but it was so clear she loved it.

I remember her jumping up and down with glee when she won the prize and the massive smile on her face, awesome.

was she french? i remember them

Note to self - must sleep well, wake up, log-on, claim a spot.

She managed to ride the full 14 miles.

Lovely little thing, she was.

Well you know what to do, don't you?

Drop them like a rock and come to the Tweed Run, you fucking melt!

One hour to go.

9 minutes to go, folks.
