Very much so, and this would be an ideal opportunity to "ride before you buy" as it were. It'll be a shorter distance, in the "warmth" of London so it should be a few degrees warmer than in the countryside, with an early finish and you could take your first train homewards.
The Fridays' website (see my sig line) has all the info you'll ever need about membership, lights, clothing, etc. You can sign up for the email updates without even paying the massive £2 annual Fridays membership. What more could you want?

Is the intention to finish somewhere central? Do you know what time this might be?

Could combine both and go to a Spoons - passably decent large breakfast for a fiver and often wonderful strong beer (Christmas ales at the moment)

Breakfast will be near to Victoria Railway Station. Exact location will be released nearer the time and beer will be avaiable......

Thanks. I just wanted to know how far I'd be from Paddington, as I'll need to book a ticket and cycle reservation for a specific train.

@User21629 and @Blue Hills both very welcome. The Christmas Ride is the chance for the club to come together during the festive season but also a chance for those who haven't experienced the magic of a Fridays ride to join us and have a taster.

no problem to get beer at 8am in London.
Even before the licensing laws were liberalised.

Just filled the form in. My day off for Saturday hasnt been 100% confirmed so theres a small chance i might not be able to make it but i will keep you updated.
Secondly, i have a friend who wishes to join the ride, hes been commuting on the bike longer then i have and in a way much more of a cyclist then I am if he wasnt clinging onto his 7 year old badly maintained 13kg cube hybrid. Hes done the DD and went part of the way with me on this years one. He doesnt have insurance nor is he a member of the FNRttC.
Would he be allowed to tag along seeing as this is a fairly short 'closer-to-home' ride?

There's tougher hills in the south, in my opinion. Anyway, pondering upon this as I'm leading a ride on the 18th, but Christmas comes but once a year and It's not a long or particularly tough ride (the one I'm leading). Or could just join you all for breakfast.

I work 11am-8pm every saturday. I wake at 8am everyday to get to work. Last thing i want would be to dragging myself on a ride when im already dead tired.
Believe me -- I dont like it, and according to my boss I dont have too but thats just the way it is and hence why im looking for another job.

I suggest your friend contacts the ride leader personally to discuss.
