Anyone taking part in the ride around London event this Sunday? I'm going to head to Clapham Common for 10am - might as well see what it's all about!

I didn't register and followed the advice to leave my bike at home...Dunno why, seemed to be loads of places where I could have left my bike...shame really as it would have been good to take my bike. But went for the festival bit anyway
Not as many stalls as I was expecting, all of which where a little small...well that's the whingy bit out of the way
Good atmosphere, amazing stuff being done on bikes, trails stuff was breathtaking/unbelieveable, BMX stuff was great to watch....The techy bit on Evans would have been better on a stage with a pa system...oh and lots nice bikes to perv at!!!
But I'm glad I went, well worth it (it was free after all)
Only one negative point....even when cyclist are the only mode of transport on the road there are still a handfull of riders who ignore the red stop signs and try to cycle through a crowd crossing the road...tut tut tut on you all :?....some things will never change!!! :-D

best moment for me was when a uni-cyclist cycled straight into a lamp-post near the Mall. I know yo ushouldn't laugh but it was funny! He got up and seemed ok!2011 Yeti ASR5 carbon: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5817307/
