Hi guys, Eddie Kidd is aiming to finish his London Marathon today at 7pm on the Finish Line, which is Pall Mall.
Anyone that can make it, bike or not, then come along. I can’t organise a rideout as my offices are next door, but come along and give the man the credit he so richly deserves.
Thanks for the reminder Ian any updates on the finish time… I see on his site and twitter there estimating around 5pm but that was 5 or so hours ago… I’ll be riding in from Uxbridge and was looking at getting there about 6:30ish but don’t want to miss the finish
Thanks for the update mate, on his website he says that from 5:30 he will start the last 200m with the celebs and letting the cameras get the shots, so I’m going to head there straight from work to watch
I’m going to pop down there on the way home to give Eddie some support. I finish work at 5:30pm in Soho so should be there around the finishing line time. I’ll be on a Yamaha WR125X supermoto, I’m a tall chap with a black Arai RX7 Corsair lid, say hello if you see me
I see it’s being covered by the BBC on the one show, which starts a 7pm, so I am looking at getting up there for 6 - 6:30. Not sure whether it’s on the Mall or Pall Mall but I guess it will be obvious. I know there’s a bike parking bay in Waterloo Place I’ll try that first if not St Jame’s Sq … I’ll look out for you then… or if you see a good looking bloke on a blue BMW gs, as avatar, with black Rukka and helmet it’s me:P:D:P
Yes, well done Eddie, a proper hero, amazing acheivement.
Got a nice clip of him crossing the line on me camera with all the champers being poured on him and that, uploading it to YouTube atm so I’ll link it when it’s up.
Good to meet you too eezyrida …and I think I saw you too Geoff but didn’t realise it was you till I saw your post above just now (black Rukka, etc) - next time I’ll know it’s you and say hello lol
Sorry I missed you other guys… wasn’t the greatest of turn outs from the biking community to see him across the line mind…but well done Eddie on a fanatastic achievement… I did get to shake his hand and congratulate him Couple of pictures…
