    5000 bikes is a bit intimidating. Are you sure you didn't tack an extra zero on there?

    At any rate, that's a lot of people. The crowd will thin itself out. Just take your time and rest as needed.

    Nope, in fact I think it is nearer 5500!

    Not so sure about the crowd thinning out, the streets of London are narrow, was thinking of having blades on the hubs of my wheels like Sparticus.........then I could soon push my way to the front!

    Thanks for the enouragement zen.

    Good luck and well wishes to you! The hardest part for me was the fundraising, and look how well you've done! Hope you have tons of fun and if you get a chance, post some photos when you're done.

    Joking aside the fundraising has been extremely hard work, I think so far I have got about 140 sponsors and it's remembering to thank them all, then when people donate and put down their first name instead of their nick, that confuses the heck out of me.

    Then there is a list for chasing people up and of course a list of "no-no's"!

    It has been a lot of fun, another site I go on, somebody has given me three different items to auction and in total I got £250!

    It has been an amazing experience, this is a one off, I have done sponsored rides before but not to this extent.

    Hopefully I will have some pics to post after Sunday.

    Thanks for your good wishes.

    Cheers Snap for the good wishes.

    Typical, usual English weather, absolutely crap, been raining all week and looks like it might be the same for Sunday, oh well, I guess us Brits are use to it.
