It occurs to me that my front light is broken, and I should really have one for a night ride. Does anyone have one that I could borrow for the evening? Cheers!

yo Themefrom90210, I'll be coming from Birmingham on the sat. Are you train-ing?

Hello! I'll be getting the slow train home on Saturday but i'm not too sure when I'll be travelling down, I estimate between 12-3pm but it all depends on when I drag myself out of bed! When were you thinking of leaving?

Very definitely thinking along the same lines. Slow train in the afternoon FTW. It will be a bit of a pain with the old bike but oh well! pm your number if you want some company.

sure, if a 3 LED knog will do. and why wouldn't it on an urban ride!

OK cool! Add me to the list!

Oops! I didn't realise I could add myself to the list, sorry!

ha! if i'd seen that^^ i'd have said "what did your last slave die of ;)"

^the first post says 9PM. did you write that or velocio?

also riding the night before with the roads still open, the route is not gonna be obvious, so someone better work it out before. (shotgun not!)

They were already putting out crash barriers etc around Tower Bridge way last weekend when we went round some of the route for the London Classic - there might be signage by the night before...hopeful

could be worth printing out the map/route though I reckon!!

even when we were riding it with the roads closed it was near impossible to tell where to go.

5am Sunday start:

...I've drawn out the route on a TfL biking map, seeing as I'm somewhat expecting to end up lost & last on the ride... so it'll be handy for sharing with other lost people near the back of the pack, but for speedy bikers up the front? I cross my fingers for you :)

Am also thinking -if I find the time between now & then- having a bit of a look at Google Maps street levels, just at each corner we've to turn, so will be better able to recognise the way around... has worked well for me before on previous jaunts into unknown neighbourhoods.

n

ps. 9pm start on Sunday, with the same meeting point as on page 1, am I right? Otherwise I won't be sharing my map with anyone!
- Also, about how long did it take to ride on average? Am optimistic I can ride the distance, but then keep having flashback images of the state of marathan runners each year on the telly, and realise that's with them having done some serious training for the thing! :o.

CORRECTION: Clearly "9pm start on Sunday, " should read "9pm start on Saturday, "

ooh you're right. 26 miles is a long way with no training. tell you what, better bring a bike

P.S. good work with the map

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
