2011-04-16 Sat 9pm - London Marathon Ride

Easts feeder ride from the bagel shops in Brick Lane at 5am remember.

In. Lets see if we can make it in one group this time ;)

I blame BlueQuinn's fixie skidder RLJing tactics for us getting split up before.

awwwww. 6.40 departure means leaving home 5.15, means getting up 4.30

I'll try!

Get in!

Easts feeder ride from the bagel shops in Brick Lane at 5am remember.

And no bragging about how you're going to ride really fast and then failing to get out of bed on the actual morning.

Too early!

^ a well you can hardly stop it in this place.

It has to be, any later and there won't be any chance of a finish on the Mall.

Comprehension fail. I think Miles meant 'This thread has been started way too early' not 'it's too early in the morning'.

indeed, though both are true.

Please would someone add me on, i'm on the phone.

I'd actually be in favour of an earlier start... say 6:15 or 6:30. Lats year a lot of people were stopped from getting to the Mall.

Unless a good pace can be really guaranteed (it can't) then an earlier start is probably a better thing to do.

agreed. We missed it literally by about a minute.

Yep, what time did we roll last year? 7?

this is not a race

Err, yes it is.

I think whatever time we start getting everybody through the finish will be difficult, it looked like they are a bit protective of the actual finish line.

Best way is to hit it en-mass at pace and see how many can get past before they shut us down. On the other hand we got to be a bit careful, lots of people can be milling around on the final bend, taking out a steward wouldn't make us popular.

Best way to do it is in a fucking tank.
