I'll take a wild guess that he is in the RAF and because they have a cycle club/team they have a kit...?

1. Gruffy - Yellow Tour de Pistonheads jersey
2. richardxjr - Yellow banded Pistonheads jersey
3. pachydermus - undecided but probably either Assos Mumu or Carolina Bella.
4. upsidedownmark - ful-on tri jersey.
5. caulpope - mankini, doesn't get much more aero than that wink
6. Rolls : I'll be waiting to see what the weather is doing : either older PH jersey, or something thats warmer /drier...
7. Maddad - probably club jersey but too early to say right now!
8. ALawson - Raspberry Tommy's (Stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage research charity) top, if anyone is feeling flush and wants to sponsor me that would be great. Shameless plug for a great charity.
10. Jeevescat - Save The Rhino, just as long as I'm not expected to wear a rhino suit!
11. TheFungle - Full RAF kit.
12. Type R Tom - just black shorts and white t-shirt, do go in for all the cycling gear.
13. Sandersports - Hopefully not a Gabba
14. Vocal Minority - not decided yet. Some sort of garment most likely.
15. Gump - proper yellow / black / white PH jersey (none of this red heracy).
16. Jonnny - Ride London 2015 jersey, sorry.. Had to.
17. ajk - Cranleigh Cycling Club jersey.
18. Benmac - Not sure, I really should wear my club jersey but I'm not a fan of it.

Black, wave h. 8.21 depart.

Looking forward to it - hoping i can find a group to work with, otherwise that late start is going to keep the pressure on!

Daft question time...

Anyone need a hotel room for the sat night?
I have a twin (bunks) booked at the Excel ibis, but a mate has just moved house right near the park so I have options smile

Also, anyone traveling from the north west? I've got room in the back of the shed for a second bike so could take a passnger as long as you're not a weirdo smile

Failing that parking in a street around London Bridge and cycling across again.

Nothing yet, though I didn't get a place through the usual methods so maybe mine is different.
