I looked at the FAQ today.
Anyone can join the ride; it's a public highway. They just say that too many people will ruin the enjoyment of those who have registered.
Personally, I think lots of people who've registered will drop out. Join in, that's what I say. A whole heap of bikes might make people notice the numbers more.
I'm going full on Fakenger and sticking LFGSS spoke cards in my back wheel for handing out.

Might as well bump this up as it's next weekend.
If we start at the Gypsy Moth, we can get to the Woolwich tunnel by taking the Thames Path along the river. It'll be fun and I know that route well.
After that we can loop in through Docklands and the Isle of Dogs and into Central London along Narrow street, which will take us up to Tower Bridge.
Where do we go from there?
If we're meeting early - there's the good and cheap noodle place on the corner.

peejay78 i reckon yes, let's meet by the cafe, away from the "rent-a-mong, is that a bicycle, no it's a piece of shit with stabilisers" massive.
maybe 11am? 11.30?
Oooooohhhh, you're going to be in for such a big surprise on the Embankment...
But look on the bright side - there's nothing to stop any of us just having a ride around London if it gets too much. Don't you just love riding a bike?

Chocolate bars are probably a bad idea for a long ride. The sudden sugar rush will give you a boost, but then there's the crash.
Soreen Malt loaf, and low sugar breakfast bars would be better, imho.
I'd also try and get some 'Bodyglide' for your bum and other contact points (like where your sleeves rub on your arms, and your shoulders where the bag strap goes,etc) - prevention is better than cure; by the time you've noticed you're chafing, it's too late to do anything about it.
