It was one of the best days on my bike like ever!

ok it wasnt a race but just great fun hanging around with 400 others looking a bit daft and cycling in the Sun and mayhem of London's city streets. you never get the opportunity to ride these roads without any traffic esp during that time of the day. so ok you had to register and pay a little but it was all def worth it for this pleasure of car free roads. Louise and I will def go in 2011. Might be transporting a little friend with us too by then! oh yeah saw some amazing bikes too. mercian's/bobs/cinelli/quinns etc etc all very resplendent in their original form....

Long time puttiing this on here But Tim Ward and I made it to the tweed run this year and good jaunt had by ourselves and all of the 350 of us riding straight thru the heart of london with the roads blocked off by the old bill so we felt even super special dressed in our tweed on Saturday afternoon in the sun...

Unfortunately the ride is a victim of its own success. There were so many people on it last year that this year they've had to arrange it all with the councils along the way and that sort of malarkey. Also, it's very well organised with little bonus bits along the way.

Teddy, chief tweeder, wanted me to bring some tea cups with me from Bristol, but I'm going via my parents house then on the train. He basically needs to get 4 boxes containing 100 cups and saucers from Bristol to the LDN, then back again. It's basically going to be a car job, but I'm not driving all the way.

He said that if anyone's up for transporting them, they can get on the ride for nowt in return...

The whole registration thing is not exactly in-keeping with the spirit of things is it? It should have just been left totally open for whoever wanted to join (I'm sure many will just do this anyway).

Date confirmed: Saturday 10th April.

I'm afraid I can't make this one - I'll be in Amsterdam with the missus enjoying a chilled out ride around on dutch bikes instead (minus tweed). I'll just have to think about a Bristol tweed run instead sometime.

Also worth noting is that they want people to register for it (WTF?!!!) and registration opens 27th Feb.
