This is to remind you that the Midsummer Madness solstice ride from Greenwich to Primrose Hill via Southwark Needle takes place in the wee hours of Friday morning. See the press release above for details.
I recce'd the ride this evening, and there was no problem with the route. During the recce I stopped by Bar Italia, and had a chat with the guvnor. He's looking forward to seeing us at 03:00 on Friday morning.
Declaration of interest: the café guvnor presented me with a funky Bar Italia cycling cap, and asked me to wear it on the day. Fair enough. The caps, which sell for something like £12, are black with a pink peak, and the Italian green, white and red tricolour stripe running front to back. See? It's not only our dear Miss Mouse who has the cheek to hawk trendy cycle clothing in London's online cycling forums. :-)
Saoirse is helping lead the Midsummer Madness ride, and on the night/morning will be back-marker. We need more marshals, so please volunteer! So far we have Miss Mouse (maybe) and three others (definite). That's too few to lead a ride with >100 participants. For those who agree to help I can supply a GPX file of the route.
