Sitting on the computer last night and an "E" mail came in. Looked at it and could not believe my eyes. So I got an entry in and I am riding. Only 1,000 riders allowed to enter so I am glad it was raining last night and I was sitting at the computer as the entries opened.

Not certain as to whether it came from the tour of Britain or the Prostate Cancer Charity but I don't care. I go to the London leg of the tour each year and I support the Prostate Cancer Charity.

So do I do it as a Wannabee racer?- or as a Fun entry? Fancy dress is optional so I am looking for A Mannequin to set up on the Tandem as I Only have a single entry. Getting the mannequin is in hand- Setting it up as stoker on the tandem will not be a problem- but I now need a make up artist to get it as a Boris Johnson look alike. Boris is the Mayor of London- and is a cyclist.

One thing is certain- The 50+ jersey will be seen in London that day.

Careful. That may attract lorries with broken doors.

Pictures, pictures, pictures. We will be waiting on pins and needles. Over here, you could probably find a Halloween mask of the Mayor.

Sounds like you want to do it for fun and not as a wannabee racer, enjoy and send some pics.
