Quick post before heading out for 4 hours Bikeability teaching.
Now then, Ive been a tweed fan since the 80’s finding goodies in Afflecks Palace Manchester, wearing Harris like a religion since then. So when the Tweed Run started in London for its first official run in 2010 and I was asked to Marshal I obliged happily. Smashing day out celebrating the worlds best invention with the timeless elegance of Tweed. On the day I won most gentlemanly conduct of the day, riding a Pederson and my 3 piece suit, lovely day.
Well we are doing it all again here in Christchurch and again Ive been asked to help organise, heres the thing-
You dear reader are invited to come, either as someone just to enjoy the route, Quay to Quay-or if youre a strong rider that likes more involvement marshal with me and team. Now look here, I expect you to be able to make one pre- ride recce with us and commit to the day, we will be looked after by the Captains Club and all being well can enjoy a sunny day out with a short 12 km ride with lots of time for coastal japes, all in finest attire.
All the info is here, do contact me to get involved, marshal with me and enjoy the day for free- and as one might expect even its not your bag, any help promoting through these modern techniques much appreciated. 17 September. Make it a date
Tally Ho! Jason
As the main sponsor, Captains Club Hotel, of the inaugural Christchurch Vintage Ride Saturday, 17th September, we couldn’t have done it without the skills and advice from Jason. As volunteer Head Marshal, Jason planned the route and trained the 20 novice marshals. His great organisational skills and natural leadership made this ride safe, smooth and fun – all the elements needed when cyclists of all ages and abilities participate. He is a dedicated to the world of cycling and orienteering and we look forward to working with Jason in the future!
