Nice. Not sure what Ted is going to do with collating the images, but mine will all be live soon, and my friend Pat has some cracking ones.

well that was lols, good jerb to all involved.

Top troll points to the young lady handing out copies of the Socialist Worker outside the gates at Russell Squah. And a hearty fuck you to the two hooray henry's who gave her the verbals. tory cunts.

^ was good to see the Rosie the Riveter, etc. represented, not just Wooster knockoffs

Cheers for making me look good Matt. That view on Guildhall was ace. Look like the official gallery is going live soon, so my photos are here:

Some really good shots there. Wish I'd had the chance to take my nice camera instead of the compact, because there were loads of magnificent costumes and bikes.

Lovely photos.
I think the view for me which just brought it home how many people we had, was when I was marshalling at the back of the riders on London Bridge, and we completely occupied the entire length of London Bridge across all 4 lanes of the southbound carriageway.

No wonder the little streets of Soho were so difficult :-)

Amazing.

Are those sashes 'yellow raver' lumitwill?
Would like one for autumn -winter riding when I dont want to wear the full jacket.
Anyone oblige me one?
Thanks

It was Dashing Tweeds fabric. I'll ask which one. Looking at the site, Dashing Tweeds don't sell Yellow Raver any more - or anything else that matches the sashes well.

Ted says we bought both Yellow Raver and Yellow Raver Wave. We used all their stock but they will be making more.

Blimey - Two weeks ago already??

I finally finished the Ride Report for my Blog… Thanks to all for making it a great day..

Anyone know if the tweed run is happening this year?

It is - I saw a Facebook message saying that there would be more riders than previously as well. I haven't seen dates yet though..

It's going to be in April rather than May. Can't say more till the announcement goes up.

I see the Run has made it into this guide
