Nice one. Yeah it will be!

There's still time to get jerseys people!

Try Convicts of the Road, or Camden. Or CoppiThat has a few too.

Just bought yet another jersey off ebay, so got the green one Photoben sold to me going spare again. £20, as that's what I paid. It fit me and I'm about 38" chest.

fresh, you are going wild at buying jerseys!

Have'nt got me jersey yet - stressing running out of time - gonna check out Camden next weekend me thinks - hope we have good weather guys

What is De Beauvoir?

about what time is this expected to start/end, where?

Please don't shout at me, didn't see anything in the OP and don't want to read all of the thread

What is De Beauvoir?

Do you mean De Beauvoir Town in LB Hackney? It's a very lovely part of the borough, with excellent through motor traffic calming and some sweet Italianate architecture. Among other things, the Scolt Head pub is there.

I don't know. I wanted to know where this ride was going to/from and it said "From Smithfields Market to De Beauvoir".

In that case, it'll be De Beauvoir Town that's meant.

So, the ride is 5k? :)

rolls eyes

Of course.

i have more cheap vintage jerseys and will put pics in the classified later today. you will go to the ball.

@ Hippy and emab - Oliver is correct it is De Beauvoir Town. The route is 30miles in basically a loop from smithfields, out to Epping Forest, up and back round. I will get the route up this week. I rode it again on Sunday and had made some changes. I need to amend it slightly again, and maybe again before the day as one of the roads was closed this past weekend that was OK last time and that kind of threw things a little.

Start about 12/1pm and I'm allowing till 6pm if there are any problems or delays.

@ Tika - I know! There are just so many nice ones around!

@ Sarah H - CoppiThat does have some nice ones.

I'd try ebay second. There were a couple of plain ones in Camden this weekend, but ebay is best. Plus there's been some in Poland, US and Canada that are actually cheaper to get shipped over than getting them in Camden!

Here is a glimpse of the route as it stands. THIS WILL NO DOUBT CHANGE SLIGHTLY.

There will be at least 2 rest/beer/toilet/ catch-up stops located roughly 14 and 19 miles into the route, with additional stops at 9.5 about 22miles depending on the day.

FRONT BRAKE IS RECOMMENDED

Also added to OP.

FEEL FREE TO CHECK IT OUT ON GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW. ALTHOUGH ALOT OF IT ISN'T AVAILABLE.

/\ nice /

Cheers mate.
