Well after getting in at 2am this morning,i wasn't really sure if i was gonna go hang in the city.But sure enough at 8 am this morning i was up and out the door at 9.First thing after talking to my lady headed to Bobbin Cycles to pick up my registration packet.So after about a 40 minute walk i arrive and they don't open for another 20 minutes,so i went for a stroll.London is cool!All sorts of boutiques consisting of ladies wear,crafts,vintage shops,and really dope menswear shops!I check out a couple shops and definitely know i'll be heading back to pickup a couple things.I arrive back at Bobbin and they had just opened.The staff was cool,laid back,friendly and courteous.It's a little shop consisting of 3 speeds,panniers,clothing of course brooks saddles and more.But you'll see in the video in a couple days.After having a nice conversation and picking up my packet which consisted of my spoke card, wool arm sash, The Brooks Bugle, London bike map, bike food energy bar, and two great booklets,one on the tailoring and tradition of Huntsman and the other on ten years of the history of dandyism with a nice bag to go with it, thanks Ted!(organizer for the Tweed Run),i'm off.They also gave me directions to couple other places to check out alsoWhich you will see in the video. All in all it was a great day! Got some interviews and filming setup,going to check out an all day cycling event at the velodrome in Herne Hill tomorrow. So plenty of work to and of course food to eat also.I found a Jamaican spot near Bobbin serving ,Ackee& Saltfish,Patties,Calaloo,Jerk Chicken,and more. Plus all the butcher shops and patisseries which hopefully i can get some video too.So it's going to be a great weekend looks like it!So until then, PEACE!
Oh yeah this will be the introduction to my slowly put together traveling show,"On The Road with T."
