is this open to people who suck at it?

i might just spectate.

I'm riding so yes. You must ride too.

i may come too

I'm riding so yes. You must ride too.

Don't be fooled, Clive is riding as the publicity caravan.

you are more than welcome to come and spectate - participation is not compulsory but you'll be expected to excercise your vocal chords if you do show your face. Extra points for bringing along pom poms and cow bells...

I'm there to watch and possibly help with the starts as per last time, holding can in one hand and bike with poised rider in the other. I haz skillz!

p.s. it's just down the road from my flat which is coool.

Have updated original post with more directions

Good one, Gus, that path never occurred to me. I expect it'll be very dark, though? Will we have enough daylight?

There's a fair bit of spillover of light from the Olympics construction site but it is going to be a case of people needing lights...

I saw that in the OP but assumed it was a leftover from a description of the Greenway site. The Olympic construction site is quite far away--unless I haven't been paying attention lately! I assume you've recced it recently. I only tend to ride past there in the daytime, except for the odd Dunwich Dynamo.

There are no lights anywhere near that site, so will be pretty dark. I thought you were going to use South Mill fields when you said it was near Clapton round-a-bout, but there is a rough bit in the middle.
If it is too dark you could head to the cycle path on Orient Way, which runs between Lea Bridge Road and Leyton, though it's next to a busy road.

Yes, and that section is much too busy with commuters.

If it is too dark you could head to the cycle path on Orient Way, which runs between Lea Bridge Road and Leyton, though it's next to a busy road.

Interesting idea, but I wouldn't recommend that at all. No atmosphere, too much traffic, not a good place for a party.

just had another look at the site, it's not lit but there's enough light pollution around to make it good. If you're not afraid of the dark...then you should be fine.
