Nice one, i don't know London very well at all so think/hope the element of surprise and interest in the city will help get me through it. Might see you there!

Cycling through London is brilliant and apart from crystal palace and alexandria palace themselves looks fairly flat, London is best experienced at night as the lights turn it into a different city from the daytime. Be nice to see you if i do it.

Will do, the only problem will be trying to raise £400 in sponsorship in a month.

Just a couple of add ins, I managed to complete 5,000 miles since I started in June on Saturday 20th.
again my avg splits over 5Km are better, though a few dropped below 14mph due to head winds, the last 1/2 of the course was a bit naff really. and as long as it was at just over 40 miles (70Km) four rides ago I did half the distance and it was more difficult.
The challenge, well after how I felt when I got back I am not sure I can complete it. Having said that my avg for the three rides I have had since the new wheels is 15.05mph, thats 94 miles with 4024ft elevation , since Sat morning, my avg up to that point was 14.09mph.

That could prove a problem! I bought my own place but they have sold out i believe.
