Greetings folks,

This is my first telling off by the lovely Bruce....

Now then the tweed run used to operate as an all moving together ride, a la critical mass. Marshalls corking all the junctions so everyone moved as one. That is my reference to 'roads being closed'...

This is now no longer the case. You are now in amongst the moving traffic with people moving not all as one to the next tea / lunch stop. Last year I witnessed many people arriving and meeting their mates and joining the ride - just not being able to get a cup of tea or picnic with the official tweed punters. Joining people is just a phone call away these days after all. That is my reference to 'You can all turn up if you want to'...

Bruce is a lovely person - if you are on this ride, please obey what he asks you to do.

Rides change, the forum changes. That's life...

Peace and love,
Tim

You can all turn up if you want to, a la Skully, as it's on open roads these days, tfl won't let them close roads off ...

I went last year in an official capacity I must add..., and just as James says it's a long way from the first one... Forum-wise that weekend is all about the Thundercrit gig.

Peace and love to all cyclists...

Greetings folks,

Went to see my lovely BC chums yesterday. They are incredibly close to finishing their new shop - it is going to look just great....

Peace and love,

Clondon Lassic ?

Given health and strength, I'll see you all in 2017...

Peace and love to all those who know and love this ride and of course those who organise it...

Greetings folks,

Just been by Stockwell Road and it is really empty now... virtually everything now moved....

Hugged the bare walls, said my goodbyes, sniff sniff.

But in other news - hey they're moving and the next exciting chapter will soon begin...

Peace and love,
Tim

Greetings folks,

I volunteered yesterday and spent the day helping them with their move.

What a great day that was. Removing anything we could from the walls at the old shop, moving things to the new shop. All mucking in, great banter, great vibes...

We had fish and chip lunch

I had a very good night's sleep

Yes Cornelius the new shop is / will be lovely and is absolutely HUGE.

The day was as always pure Brixton Cycles Gold...

New place should be opening in mid February - bit at a time....

Peace and Love,
Tim

Oh no....

What sad news...

What a great bloke...

My favourite Wayne memory is being passed by him on my way to Dunwich a few years ago. He was with the CS Grupetto massive, we chatted along the lanes of deepest darkest Essex until the inevitable dropping of me by him occurred. Only for us to be re-united again at Dunwich where the CS massive shouted 'do a skid' in unison - the ultimate LFGSS welcome to Dunwich !

Peace and love to his family and friends.

Brother Wayne....

For risk of being scobled or something - sorry Ed you are wrong...

I have seen Jim this afternoon and I am happy to report that the beard is making a recovery - lookin' good already....

They are packing up at Stockwell Road and getting ready for Brixton Road.

Peace and Love,
Tim

Aaah bless.

In honour of our friends on YACF some smileys for you all....

Greetings folks,

The journalist Zoe Williams regularly walks past my workplace and if I see her we chat. She wrote an article about him in the Guardian earlier in 2015.

When he came a cropper with moped-gate, by chance I bumped in to Zoe and explained what had happened to him how he was back on a trike peddling one legged around a track in Milton Keynes, but hoped to continue... She said how amazing that was and whatever happened he had 'the moral victory'.

Hearing the news, that phrase comes back to me...

What a great bloke, what an amazing effort...

Peace and love,
Tim

Happy New Year Ben...

Site says

'Overfunding

WOW! Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far!

While our initial target will help us move to our new home, we still need to kit it out, not to mention paying rent & salaries while we get set up.

Further funding will help us get off to the best possible start and increase our sustainability for the future, so if you are yet to pledge, we still need you!

Please keep the support rolling, keep spreading the word & let's #savebrixtoncycles for good! Thank you.'

Well done folks.......

Greetings folks,

Scores on the doors are as follows £38,420......

Allez Brixton Cycles !!!!

Peace and £ove,
Tim

Greetings Skully,

Give thanks for making this sound more welcoming.... Might just join you.

Peace and love to our Cambs and Essex friends....,
Tim

That looks pretty terrifying ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

'Dress spooky'

Er Not Now Bernard.....

That is not a typo above... it was Fakenham rather than Fakenger ....

Peleton in hot pursuit.....

Greetings and love folks,

I went to watch stage 7 - Fakenham to Ipswich on Saturday.

I watched it live on telly and then stepped out of the door in Hadleigh to watch. Bit surreal really never been in a position to step outside and then enter the program I have been watching on telly.

Here is the breakaway group of three - their lead was down to about a minute and the peleton were in hot pursuit.

Really great crowds along the route. Seems a great race which really shows off all of this green and pleasant land we live in. Reading in papers though riders and teams unhappy about all the distances they have had to travel in between stages.

Still Allez Allez all the way.

Peace and love,
Tim

Greetings Legends of the Track...,

Well what a lovely day on Saturday..... Well done Laner, Mands and all the other lovely organisers - you did an absolutely fantastic job.

Was just taking it all in from just beyond the finishing line.....

Now I couldn't help notice that there seemed to be a lot of upside down crosses, 666 and all that sort of thing going on . I had an at length conversation with MA3K about this, and he explained to me that it is an antidote to the Dulwich Paragon, Rapha type of serious roadie style....That is fine by me as it is a free country. I just hope you know what you are dealing with....

People who missed it - where were you ?

Peace and love,
Tim

Even legends get excited^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
