Tweed Run Ecosse

[HJ]

Anyone up for this one? Tweed Run Ecosse, an easy amble around the streets of Edinburgh. Meet at Thistle Street for 13:00. Dress code requires as much tweed as it is seemly to wear, and the more rustic your velocipede, the better. Route yet to be finalised. No charge, but we feel it only fair to ask that you donate a few groats to the Braveheart Fund and/or Children First.

OK so the full CC gear might not be appropriate on this ride, but we (mostly) know who we are and it looks like fun...

Certainly looks fun, though I'm not sure I've got any Tweed. Good causes too.

Auch it's a Sunday and as it's bank hol weekend I've no chance of getting it off. Same as this coming weekend I'm working Sunday and Monday
On the plus side I don't work Thursday, Fridays or Saturdays

For a while I thought this might be the excuse I needed to buy one of these, then I remembered we'll be in Paris that weekend!

Quick trip to a charity shop should sort that out....

Simple solution, forget about Paris, buy cap, then remember that you have to go to Paris after all, but you will have the cap for any later occasions. Lets face it, if you have Rapha gear in the wardrobe you will always find a reason to wear it...

You may have a point, plus, imagine how dapper I'd look strolling down Champs-Elysées wearing it!

Fixed that for you.

Now you just need to convince your wife to join in and contribute to Parisian "cycle chic" ... (local bribe shopping required "let's get something practical for cycling ")

You might need to clear your brain in between exams, to make space there for the next subject . What better than a wee local bike ride?

There's plenty of tweed stuff in the charity shops ... and you can donate it again afterwards if you don't want to make a regular habit of cycling in tweed!

Go on, you want to ...

No excuse, you will always perform better in exams if you fit in a wee bit of relaxation time. As for the tweed, a quick trip to Armstrong's will soon sort that out...

I got my first kilt from Armstrong's in the Grassmarket...

Cheers, I think I'll pass this time.

I have a couple off tweed scarves I got in Harris, one being a bright red training piece, so, who knows, I might just be there, and if you don't mind the initial itchyness, I can lend you the other more boring dark blue herring bone one if you want.

Red tweeed?? yes, it does exist.

Just a pity I'll have the tank and not something rustic looking, no, just rusty looking instead!!

Danm, I knew I should have bought that Pashley Guv'nor when I had the chance!!!

Anyway, the tank is just my old/interim bike before I get something else better.
