We're in Walfmstow, about to go and get tomorrow's brekkie and lunch. I forgot my reading specs, so I'm squinting at the screen.

At my uncle's flat in Wapping watching the boats go by. Went through the Aldwych underpass which was fun but took an age to get past the City bloody cyclists! Good luck everyone, hope you enjoy it

We wandered past 99p stores and I did wonder. We found somewhere else, so I can see again

Apologies for crashing this thread somewhat - though I have been reading these forums for a couple of years - hoping someone might be able to give me some advice!

I'm doing this event tomorrow and am pretty much a newbie (don't worry, am starting at the back). Have just gone to give my bike a final going over and noticed on the back tyre a crack that runs from the sidewall to the middle of of the flat bit, though seems pretty stable - but worse, a semicircular tear of about 1cm in the tread - if I lift up the flap I can see the tyre wall under it - they are bontrager race lite hard case tyres, if that makes any difference. TBH I could have done 3 or 4 rides with them like that, or it could be new. Should I change it? I have a new tyre but are there any downsides to doing a long ride on a new one?

If you have a spare tyre change it now.

Do you mean Jerseys or T shirt?

The official cycling jerseys! I understand it was the backend of the registration period (3.30pm Saturday) but you would have thought Wiggle would have ordered plenty to cover numbers + extras.

Went on site but they arent even selling them there so looks like I'm out of luck.

At Premier Inn now, all booked for dinner tonight and tomorrow, just wondering how toapply helmet number to a helmet clearly not designed for a great wapping sticker on the front of it!

Anyone able to set up a Strava segment for first 10 miles tomorrow (fancy a 20mph ave as its fast) official split last year was 17 miles

Good luck everyone for tomorrow!

The jerseys will probably be reduced on wiggle on Monday ;-)

I didn't see any souvenir T shoots there either, I thought the expo was a bit if a poor show.

They were in the toilets.

I'm currently at a wedding and won't get home till late! Need to be up for 3.30am to ride to the start. Tomorrow is going to be fun. Good luck everyone

Good luck with that mate. Its nearly 9pm and I'm about to try and sleep - my alarm is set for 03.45 as well.

The weather's set to be fine, warm, dry with a southerly breeze. Bon voyage, tout le monde!

Just walked past the windows of the restaurant where Wiggins, Team Sky and some of Ettix were having dinner.

All the teams are in the hotel next to mine so if I had a needed to sort a mechanical problem, there were a few half decent mechanics around
