Whats to stop anyone joining in?

"Whats to stop anyone joining in?"

The ride is going to be around one of Rupert Murdoch's walled gardens. (And if you try to join in he'll sue you for copyright infringement...)

check out the custom zipps on that thing. wow

All good getting your text before 8.00am on the day if you live next door, where does that leave the rest of Britain's fans who want to ride ?

I thought Sky are riding Pinarellos not Felt next year??

Cheesy publicity stunt, already done by Armstrong not very original ...

He was riding at the worlds for GB in that picture when he was still with Garmin hence the Felt !

Done by Armstrong and he did not restrict it to a mere 300 riders....what a loada rubbish !!!!!

That's because he thought he had less than 300 friends....whereas I am sure Sky have had to restrict the numbers due to safety reasons, since it is being held in the anti cycling capital of England....

BTW Cadel Evans did a similar thing a few days ago in Melbourne.....he only got 80 riders joining him...I wonder why ? :-)

How bizarre.

Team Sky pick probably the busiest Monday of all the year when the world returns to work and organise it so that people don't know where it will be in London until 8am on that very same day. Three hundred may enter the competition but how many of the winners will actually get to the desitination in time?

Sounds like a last minute afterthought rather than a serious and planned strategy. The intent is nice but the execution is a shambles.

I'll be in Belfast - if I get the text how the hell am I (or anyone more than 50 miles away) supposed to get there for - I'm guessing - a 10am start? Not thought through at all!!

Nice offer - shame it's in London and out of reach of most of the UK's cyclists. What a suprise that they decided to launch there - why not the midlands or North of Britian.......

Or am I just being a cynical "Everything revloves around London and there is no other part of the UK!!!!" person.

BTW - that blue on the bikes and kit is dreadful.

Lawman, its about getting people on bikes, with the majority of Londoners not cycling, then it seems like a good idea to base it around london, with the largest population of the cities around the country.

What they mean is they want 300 londoners to ride with them.

Go team radioshack.

It was probably the police that put a limit on the numbers, and suggested a last minute reveal of the time/place.

We all know how fun runs/races have declined countrywide as a result of no-one wanting to take responsibility for groups of people taking physical exercise...

why the mean comments . u have the track up north and we have the worlds media etc in london

Why not ride with em? I pay their wages with my Lottery tickets and Sky subscriptions!

Perhaps they should pay me to turn up...
