Good to see Wiggins Snr is trying to just enjoy having a ride without all the hoopla -

"It will be the first time in nearly three years for me getting back on a bike, and I'm looking forward to it," 'Wiggo' continues. "I'm a little bit nervous whether I'll get round the whole thing. I think I will, I'm in pretty good shape at the moment. I'm looking forward to it. I hope to see as many of you there as possible."

The main reason Wiggins has avoided the bike in recent years, has, as he succinctly puts himself: "Because I don't like the person I became when I was on it."

"I was the most confident bike rider when I was on it," Wiggins told the BBC recently. "But step off the bike and I had to step back as Bradley Wiggins, because the bike was where I was most comfortable and gave me all my confidence in my life. I can't imagine achieving anything like that now in a sports perspective because I'm not the same person I was. I've grown now. I have all the answers."

Info on the upcoming ride on September 29th - which is the same day as the WC of course.
