Tweed Run 2013 - The Fifth Birthday Celebration - 13 April

Did the Recce tonight it will take me a long time to thaw out just as well it is a Tweed Run

^ this!

as long as it's dry though. don't fancy riding round with the unsavoury whiff of damp tweed all day

If anyone needs a 'tweed' bike, I can loan this 1953 Captivante.

Dynamo works, comes with panniers. One crank arm is slightly bent but it still works fine.

It will fit someone 5ft7 to 5ft10 ish (i'm 5ft10.5 and it is a bit too small)

well cute vince!

building a tweed run bike myself.

Can't bally wait!!!!!
Me and Mrs L are coming down Friday - Natural History Museum during the day, tickets to The Thirty Nine Steps in the evening!
We're both really looking forward to catching up with our London chums on Saturday, and we've even ordered one of those natty looking picnics!

Pip pip!!

39 steps Luci??, bloody good show.. funniest thing ive seen in ages..
i know the staff and head carpenter at the criterion theatre..
we're off to see peter and alice at the noel coward theatre in the evening..

^^Luci - I'm marshalling.
It will be good to finally share a couple of pints at the end..

Great stuff, Howard! I'll look out for you on route and at the bar!

We're almost tempted to get tweeded up for the show! Don't want to peak to early though. I thought The 39 Steps would really put us in the mood for tweed and high jinks!

do it.. oh and a pipe..

Looks like weather will have warmed up for this! Rolla Nats Finale is in the evening and Free to get in if you find yourslef at a loose end....

Long shot, but does anyone have a bugle I can borrow?

Just use a rolled up note like everyone else!

Got a Harris tweed tie going cheap if anyone wants.

The London Tweed Run 2013

How is it the 5th birthday if it was established in 2009. I can't work it out?

You obviously don't appreciate how much effort and time it takes to create the first ever tweed run, old bean..
it wasn't born in 2009 it was 'established', you therefore celebrate tomorrow's run as the fifth.

1st = 2009
2nd = 2010
3rd = 2011
4th = 2012
5th = 2013

Good luck with the run. It is an amazing thing and cool that it is international now.

I still think establishment and birth are the same thing so the 'logotype' is therefore a bit eccentric - but then the whole event is just that.

So tally ho, old bean, stiff upper lip etc. etc.

You are not 1 when you are born. Take a look at the Olympics or superbowl. They put the 35th olympiad or 92nd Superbowl.' Est. 2009, The 5th Tweed run' might be a better way of putting it.

I thought it was run by graphic designers?

Anyone riding to the run on Saturday from north London? want some company?

Ill health is forcing me to bow out of the TW this year.

So I've got two tickets for the event up for grabs*. Collection from SW2 tonight or in the morning.

• Jacqu & Ted, if you want me to distribute them back through the Tweed Run formal routes, please let me know.
  

I've got a tweed cycling cap if anyone wants to borrow it for the TR tomorrow? collect from shrubland road E8 tomorrow morning.
PM me if you need this to finish (or start) your look.

I feel the need...

the need for Tweed.

Bugle horn.. check
Murray mints.. check
Pocket telephone.. check

See you soon dapper chaps and ladies
X

See you all there at the start!
