Led rides to/from RideLondon FreeCycle - help needed.

We are looking for marshals, back stops, and ride leaders for led rides to/from the central London circuit of RideLondon FreeCycle on Saturday 9 August. Please consider helping out in this way.

In particular we need someone to lead a ride back to Barking Station from Tower Hill at 3pm. This needs to be someone who has experience of leading, marshalling, or back stopping rides and who is a strong cyclist. Also s/he needs to know the route (which she can choose) well.

The back stop needs to be a strong rider as s/he may need to "catch up" with the leader, though usually the job involves staying behind the slowest rider.

Marshals need to be assertive riders who are adept at keeping the group together by facilitating crossing of roads and encouraging less confident riders to keep together with the group.
