Greetings and love folks,
Well we've got 60 plus members of TEAM LFGSS signed up which is magic. We've had the quiz, hip- flask talk and general banter about memories of the ride. So what to think of now with 6 weeks to go?
Yes what to wear of course...... The ride goes through East London after all and the fashion police will I'm sure be out in force. Currently un-decided about what to go for.
Should it be the full Rapha?

Well not really feeling, monochrome and roadie enough for that....
Been having a bit of a 90', fluoro moment of late. Well it's the 10th anniversary of Pantani's death. This sort of look is great Health and Safety, so wondering about something along these lines

Well Mapei it's because I'm a Londoner....
Cycling isn't all about Rapha and hipsters. We must salute our lovely nodding commuter friends. Those who think Evans clothing is pretty racey....

If done ironically enough it might even fool the hipsters into thinking it's 'trending....'
There is a heavy Brixton Cycles influence to this ride.

Mmmnnn certainly a good idea to show support to the BC massive. Certainly a good look for this ride.
Now we must not forget that there is a massive LFGSS presence here. Probably 1 in 6 of those doing the pave and alps will be signed up on here, so there is always a good excuse do dust off this number.

Mmmnnn possible..
Thing is though I think I am getting in-decisive in my old age, though I'm not quite sure....So I am going to go for a mash-up of all of above.
Don't worry about the training for this ride. It starts and ends in a pub, so it's none of that sportive bo££ock$ you can come across, and it's all for charidee mate.
