Coming down from your country estate to have a jolly in town. Good call sir, good call.

+1. Reflective tweed, who'd a thunk it?

RIDE UPDATE:

so as not to block traffic on savile row, the ride will now gather in hanover square for 2pm, then we will head over to savile row to start the ride.

Apols, teddster. I just meant the models, not the gear. Who am I to say? I'm an ffing scruff. And proud of it.

that lumatwill stuff is genius! i lovelovelove the cycling trousers, but i'd probably have to sell my bike (& any number of other things) just to afford them....hehe.

I keep thinking the ride is tomorrow, such is my appetite for this.

me too, I'm SOOOO excited!

I wish my 'tache would grow faster. It's rubbish.

i find this strangely mesmerising...

It does have a great beat.. Looks like an awesome job!

people keep telling me i've got some food on my upper lip.

people keep telling me i've got some food on my upper lip.

speaking of that, my mate (turkish) grew a soul patch under his lips, which is fine, but unfortunately everyone kept mistaking it as a shadow and consequently made his bottom lips look swollen.

are any photographers coming along to the ride? some of the sponsors, and the bikes4africa charity that we're doing a bit of fundraising for would like some photos of the ride. anyone want to volunteer their services?

ARGHH, only 1 more week, I really want to see what happen when 100 people from the 1930's with futuristic bike would look if heading down Oxford Street giving some surprised to japanese tourists and essex people.

I'll be taking pictures but I'm no professional..

I wanted to develop my burns into proper mutton chops but the missus said no... boo.

mine the same, but if I get the mutton chop done before the ride, and then trimmed it off after the ride, she's fine with that.

I almost feel lucky to be single now.. I can do as I wish with my facial hair
