pretty good really. going to be mayhem, but in theory its a good idea.

Much too early for me. I think they should have started a little further out, say Ilford or Barking

SO tempted to go down to the start of the Brixton road one since it's so near me, if only to pick up a map

Oh dear......

More busses, and all in a rush.... good luck !

I got an e-mail from the LCC a couple of days ago telling me about the tube style bike trains. It sounds like fun and I would love to join in. Unfortunately it leaves way too late for me at 07:45 (slackers), as I leave at 06:30 sharp

I hope to see more cyclists tomorrow though, even at the crack of dawn. Some nice posh office totty would make for a welcome sight

I was going to get the train in tomorrow and go to the pub after work. But I think it could be quite funny tomorrow, if impossible to park, so I may cycle in and have a half of shandy after work.

I'm hoping for a cycling jamboree.

I just hope for her sake that Dawn wears some appropriate clothing
