THE 2010 LONDON TWEED RUN WAS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us, who rode in the event and who helped out! And doffs of the cap to our wonderful sponsors.

Under cloudless skies, 400 dapper gents and dashing ladies set out from the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Grounds at the Chelsea College of Art & Design for a lovely 12 mile jaunt through the capital, stopping off along the way at Geo F. Trumpers for a Best Moustache prize, in Kensington Gardens for a spot of tea (accompanied by a three-piece string orchestra), H Huntsman & Sons for the best outfits prizes and then heading to The Bathhouse in Bishopsgate for a party that included entertainment by Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, Top Shelf Jazz, DJ Tom Kerwin and our lovely team of swing dancers. All in all, an absolutely spiffing day out! See the gallery for more photos.

We’re still doing the totals, but we raised almost £1400 for Bikes4Africa. Spoke cards and pins are still on sale in the shop, all proceeds to Bikes4Africa!

Do join us next year!
