What do you mean by 'trailblazers', neverclever?
There's a little light rain forecast, but nothing major. It'll be a warm and mostly dry night. I can hardly wait.
I'm VERY excited myself. Seeing my bike all packed with foam last night made me very happy. Even better was the realization that transporting the bikes wont cost us extra! So thanks so much for letting us along.
Oh and trailblazer is a term for a tour guide. I guess in the old days guides would burn marks into trees to make a path. I suppose it's more used here since it's a name of a professional basketball team.

Moonshine?
Hopefully won't be a problem. Metcheck reckons clear skies and a low of 12c. Fingers crossed it doesn't change.
ha! right. i was checking weather. com and it says light rain saturday and sunday. we'll ride regardless but we'll need some trailblazers ahead of us.

It's settled! We're going and we'll hopefully be prepared --- we have minewt x2 lights, spare blinky lights, spare tubes, a gps, grenades and train money... will we need locks? We just "trained" this past weekend by doing a 50 miler to the beach complete with heavy drinking. Our plan is 3:30pm Heathrow arrival, then we're checking in to our room in Kensington and napping until it's time to meet at Hyde Park. Needless to say we're super excited about this.

Upon further review we've decided to take our spare bikes. We're not guaranteed to come yet as who knows how we'll feel when we get there but we're going to try! Since we're going to have bikes now I'm wonder when the ride starts?
"We'll meet at midnight at Hyde Park Corner on Saturday the 27th, so technically the date is Sunday" or on the calendar "Fri, June 26, 11:30pm – Sat, June 27, 7:00am"
THANKS EVERYONE! Esther and I got home nice and safe and slept through most of Sunday. Twast nice. Thank you everyone for being so nice and forthcoming with us. We really appreciated it a lot being all foreign and all. Sorry my legs gave out on me! Esther and I had a very fine time and we hope to see you again. If ANY of you ever come to Los Angeles hit us up with a note and we'll give you a warm welcome. Thanks again!
