or is it the half a bottle of Tequila?

Blimey that's great.

...on my birthday too! Shame, I could have got dressed up. (There's a first time for everything )

a turnout of 150 is pretty wonderful. Respect to LFASS!

It looks like great fun, and I like the attitude and the clothes too. Makes a bit of a change from Dupont's finest. Not quite sure why it upsets Mickle so much.

methinks Mickle must ride a tourer and wear sandals with socks

Looks like a grand day out to me with all that tweed and pipes

Good luck to them - a bit of light relief from the mundane.

I saw one of them on Saturday at London Bridge and wondered why he was dressed so strangely.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Fabulous!

It's even covered in The Chap.

I'd even go out and buy a flat cap for that ... er ... and then borrow one of those kind of bikes.

Very cool, and hip flasks aswell

 

[mondobongo]

Any riding that involves hip flasks has to be fun.

Seen photos of the tweed run before thought it looked neat and quaint so English.

Nope it definitely wasn't the tequila making me feel queasy. I love old bikes every bit as much as the next person and I know it's all harmless fun and all that but really, ffs. They want setting fire to.

I can't be the only person to have seen Paul 'I used to work in a bike shop' Vincent dressed up like a Cycle Museum dummy in last months Cycling Pus and felt an urgent need to beat that smug look of his chops with a shitty stick with a nail in it.

 

[Andy in Sig]

So it's not just me then: there's something about Paul Vincent's face which needs slapping and why do they have to put so many phots of him in C+?

 

[mickle]

Great to have you on board Andy.

What did he ever do to you Mickle, bend your wife over a Halfords Apollo and make you watch?


The ride looks extremely Chap-esque. Splendid!
