Tweed Run cardigan
Call it elegance, eccentricity or exhibitionism. In fact call it whatever you like as long as you cloak it in swathes of beautiful tweed fabric.
This is the Tweed Run 2016, a jolly ride around London for some pretty colourful characters who exhibited a real sense of cheer and general bonhomie. My good friend Michael came up with the idea of us paying it a visit. This fits in entirely with our enjoyment of shooting portraits of interesting people who are happy to have their photos taken (this being quite important for those like me in the early stages of their portrait photography learning curve !!)
Apparently this was the eighth running (or riding ?) of the Tweed Run, and they were lucky with the weather, it being a generally bright day with light wind.
My normal idea of a beautiful bike is a Campagnolo equipped Colnago, but I could certainly appreciate the incredible machines being ridden, many of which had clearly been the subject of much love and attention.
Thank you to all those who stopped and smiled. It had been a difficult day, mainly consisting of our trying to find out where on earth the group were meeting up, the route, and the finish ! I do hope that in future years this information gets published more widely as I would certainly enjoy coming back for more.
Chapeau to all those who took part !!
