Ok, I've posted this in the Women's Sunday club thread, but thought I would put it here as well if any ladies fancied it. I might go simply for a pootle, cheap entry to the show and a free breakfast.

CYCLE SHOW 2009

This year the Cycle Show is providing free secure cycle parking for everyone courtesy of Brompton at Earls Court.

They are increasing entertainment for women by putting on fashion show, providing women specific advice on nutrition, hair and make up, route planning and information on leisure holidays for women.

There will also be a session panel of experts on the Cyclodelic stand offering advice on choosing the right bike, customising your bike with female specific components or where to buy the best technical gear. TFL will be giving out advice on HGV and how to cycle safely as possible with HGV's.

In addition there are stunt shows, the top cycle manufacturers and brands, information on cycle groups, cycle holidays and obviously a chance to see LCC's stand and chat to staff!

THE WOMENS RIDE

The riders are invited to meet outside the museum between 9 and 10am. At 10am the museum will open and we'll enjoy a FREE breakfast of croissants, fruit, tea and coffee from the museum cafe.

LCC have carefully chosen a picturesque route through the London's Battersea Park and Brompton Cemetery and London’s quieter streets where possible to Earls Court.

Decorate your bikes and our colourful parade of cyclists will ride through all the rich autumn colours of some of London's beautiful green spaces.

Anyone fancy it?

Why oh why did I book a 'summer' holiday for mid-October, I am going to miss on so much good stuff that's on this coming week :/

Looks like I may well be marshalling on it as well.

Ok, I've got the route if anyone wants to come, looks rather nice. They may still be after marshals as well - which means free entry to the cycle show.

clefty - I will marshal for you. I have experience. doubt I'll be coming into the show on Sunday though having been two days already ;)

I'm not organising the ride :-) Just helping out
If you email Lucy Cooper at the LCC she can sign you up lucyc at lcc dot org dot uk

think i might come along just for the ride - desperately in need of a non-commute ride, and would be nice to see you ladies, its been ages.

bummer. for anyone still thinking of going, just sent them an email and apparently ride is at capacity and closed. i feel so rejected.
