Hello All.
All you'll need for both races will be a bag and a pen but most couriers carry a clipboard or something to write on. The Friday race will be a bit shorter than the Saturday race but as if I haven't said enough about the prizes there will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for both male and female in both races. Top prizes for the Friday race include an Ambrosio Wheelset, Goldtec Hubs and lots more so well worth sticking your toe down for.
All the action kicks off at The Foundry, Old Street tomoro night from 6 O'clock where you can register, pick up your t-shirts and get the lowdown on what else is going on. For info the after-party tomoro night will be at Andre Street, Hackney, E8...
Registration is £20 and this gets you into all the events and both parties plus your LC t-shirt (otherwise £12). We'll look to ask £5 to race each race and £5 on the door at the parties and also same for entry into the Rollapaluza if you don't manage to register on Friday...

The route we follow is..
Speakers Corner, Hammersmith, A315 to Chiswick, Kew, Bedfont, then A30 for the most part through Staines, Camberley, Basingstoke, Andover, Amesbury/Durrington and a last dash for a couple of miles on the A303 to the stones for approx 4:45am and the sunrise. The A30 is a good road and once we’re out of London it’s beautifully quiet, undulating* and smooth. (*for undulating read – has hills).
We factor in regular short breaks and try to take everything we need with us from the start so bring plenty of liquids, carbs, sweeties, waterproofs and warm clothes to stick on for when we get there.
Half the riders rode back to London last year but there are plenty of options to jump on a train from 2 or 3 stations within 10 miles or so from the henge.
Expect druids, Hare Krishna’s, zOy-DeR drinking locals and shamanic drumming to help us welcome in the longest day… don’t forget your camera :-)

yeah this ride is open to everyone. i've done this the last couple of years and it's a sweet, sweet night ride, so very worth it when you rock up in time for the sunrise. The route aint flat and it is a race against the sun at about 20mph average factoring in breaks hence the need for gears.
As Overdrive says, if you were keen and wanted to ride it fixed you could leave earlier, say 7:30 instead of 8:30/9:00 in order to meet us there for sunrise. treat yourself.


hee hee. Sorry guys! Yeah I should be coming along tomorrow night so I'll bring a few along :-)
