Lighten up guys , it's supposed to be a fun run ( I knows it is Stoke)... Tour Ride want me to pay £30 to join this bunch of miserable sods?
I look happier when lining up for a race where I know I am going to get my legs ripped off...

    sportives are the new races... super serious race faces required at the start line.

    ^^^ this

    not sure if it's a british thing, but when i've been riding overseas the ones that are standout miserable are always british, there are some sociable ones too of course, but the french/germans/dutch/italians/spanish/scandiwegians seem much more cheerful on average

    most of them just look scared/apprehensive, apart from the hustler in the yellow jumper.

    Looks to me like they've all noticed that the bloke in yellow hasn't got a number on and is gate-crashing, but in true British style are all now suffering the mental torment of wondering whether to mention it or not.
