Be yourself. You really don't have to cover yourself in lycra and pull on a pair of cycling shorts to enjoy the ride. Buy a Brooks Saddle and put Grab On's on your handlebars and you'll be fine in a t-Shirt and a pair of chinois and toe clips are far simpler than cleats as you can walk off the bike. Neil (1st? Across the line in the Argos sportive last year with trainers,T Shirt and a pannier, or put another way 12116 out of 36000 in a sea of lycra)

Good on you - a good way to keep fit and make some cash for charity :) I'm currently training for a 4 day London to Paris ride for CLIC Sargent. I've never worn proper cycling gear before (only really done the commute in chinos with bicycle clips and a t-shirt). Does anyone have any tips?

(and if anyone has a spare quid or two lying around: https://www.justgiving.com/TomWardLondontoParis/ )
