There is bike ride through the city on Sunday, its to benefit The Lord Mayors appeal. More info can be found at www.citybikers.co.uk you can register online or just turn up on the day.

I saw something about this the other day. Looks ok. Said they expect 100 bikes and they'll be shutting streets to allow it to pass. Don't think you can turn up on the day though. You have to register to get a wristband and take part. I'm tempted.
 
Oh, and clicking through the registration reveals it costs £23!

As Duncan Bannatyne would say 'I'm out!'
 
if this is a run that covers roads that already have public access then there is nothing wrong with turning up on the day :)

Technically correct but they are closing the roads for the run. The Mayor is leading the procession and the police will be 'making sure everyone has fun' :) no reason why you can't follow behind as they reopen the roads of course. Probably be police bikes doing that bit :running:
 
Any link to what roads will be closed? I've got to get to Blackfriars Sunday!

From past experience organisers/marshalls don't always have the time to check everyone for validity and all get hurded in together. (tsk tsk)

Ha ha, yes that's true often. Could be the case here as well however it is the 'city of London' and includes the Mayor, various lackys and toadys, Guildhall and Guildhall yard. They can be a bit funny about security round there for some reason!
 
Hmmm.... If the weather is ok, I'll take the Monster. I was going to take the car, but I can't be done with hours of travel to go 15 miles.
