1 Oct London bloggers’ bike ride with Jason Womack

August 30th, 2005

GTD coach and Triathlon superstar, Jason Womack , is coming to London at the end of September / start of October. We are planning a bike ride for Saturday 1 October. Riders so far are Jason; polar explorer, Ben Saunders ; IP lawyer and L’etape veteran, Mark Lloyd , and me.

We still need to beg, borrow, rent or steal a bike for Jason, and plan our route. I will post more details as I have them.

Three questions:

  1. Do you want to come on the ride?

  2. Can Jason borrow your spare bike? Jason measures 5′4″ and rides a frame of between 48 and 50 cm. If you take it to Hyde Park (Jason’s hotel is there) on the 1 October, that’s great, otherwise, comment here and I will work out a way to collect the bike.

  3. In case no-one can offer a spare, can you recommend a bike rental place?

Sign up for the ride and offer your steeds and rental suggestions in the comments. Thank you.

    Jason contacted me through Toastmasters to borrow a bike. Anyone prepared to embark on a 7am ride in October has to be worth meeting! I live in Clapham and am in Hampstead overnight, so will rope in my host if I can and see you there. Who’s bringing the thermos and tea?

    Hello Tony - I was beginning to think it would just be four of us. Now it’s five, possibly six. Great stuff.

    The details you need to know:

    1. Mark and I are meeting Jason at his hotel near Hyde Park at 7, then we are cycling over to Putney to meet Ben, before going for a few laps of Richmond Park. We plan to get Jason back to his hotel by 10.

    2. No thermos - but we will definitely make a cafe stop.

    3. Email me if you need any more details.

    PS Which Toastmasters club are you with? I am in City of London.
