RideLondon - Surrey 100 anyone?

[Little My]

Good luck everyone Hope all of you have a great day and really enjoy yourself and the day goes well.
I'm so looking forward to cheering you on along the route as it passes in my neck of the woods (I live in not so posh part SW London) and the roads I normally ride on myself - Richmond Park, Coombe Lane West, Worple Road, the delightful Wimbledon Hill Road (the last biggish hill on route, after that - it's all flat to the Mall), the lovely Inner Park Ride along Wimbledon Common and Putney Hill and High Street. It will be great to see the Tibbet's Corner RAB closed to traffic (normally is stupidly busy) and zillions of cyclists zooming past. I'm so happy that such a great event has appeared on the calendar and that it will show that cycling is for everyone and given the chance people will jump at the opportunity to ride their bike.

Amazingly, I managed to get to sleep at 8.15 and woke up at 3.30. Much better than expected.

Now for a ton of muesli

Shed loads of it!

I got to Limehouse tunnel at around 8am and watched the cyclists emerging from it. A quick loan of a bike pump, a few photos of masses of cyclists and a few friendly good mornings shared. Very impressive indeed.

Will be over visiting my folks most of the afternoon and evening. Really looking forward to getting back and reading everyone's stories of the ride, and hopefully a few photos too. Good luck everybody and have a great day.

Just turned the TV on to see the race and saw all these cyclists flashing past looking very buff and thought heck im on the wrong forum you lot are all way too good for me then it was pointed out to me that i was looking at the pros.

I eventually realised when i saw the familiar Argos Shimano cyclists in their white kit ....... white oooo nooo, too much information

Just got back from a ride out to watch some of it. Absolutely brilliant sight to see so many cyclists out on the road, saw @Nomadski twice doing a sterling job. Saw Boris Johnson twice too, nomadski was 5 minutes behind him at the top of box hill and 15-20 minutes in front of him by Raines Park.
