RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2014!!!) Anyone?

[philinmerthyr]

Ive booked the Premier Inn at Docklands , its right next to the ExCel where you register , looking at a map it doesn't look to far from the start.

There seems to be plenty of rooms there

I stayed there last year. It is about a 5 mike ride. Fairly flat and well signposted

I recorded it on strava - http://www.strava.com/activities/72367748 I rode it very gently.

Whats actually involved in registration, do you just turn up with your confirmation slip or is ID an other stuff needed

You get sent a registration document. You need to turn up with photo id

I stayed at the Novotel in the same area. Took me 15 mins to cycle to the start. I'll upload the route I took if I can find it.

I got the commiserations magazine this morning so no Prudential riding for me. Never mind.

I only live about 7 flat miles from the start so if there's anyone on a tight budget who doesn't mind a bit (a substantial bit!) of dust and must, they're welcome to use my spare bed for free. There's a clean shower at least. And I can guide riders to the start point and to the Excel registration point.

I didn't get in on the ballot this year either, gutted. But I have secured a charity place, so I will be doing it. Hotel booked, in fact it was booked last August.

I'm in again so looking forward to challenging last year's very sedate pace. And also not to fall off into the bushes up Leith Hill.
Hotel has been booked for months so glad I can make use of it. Watch as the room prices go sky high!

Morale low, still have not heard if I've got a place. Hell of the Ashdown next week (110kms), constant rain, looking doubtful for getting out on the bike weekend. Still at least the Kyle shows on in a minute.

Cancelled

I'm in - my first sportive, and I can't wait. I'll be riding for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.

Good cause. I had a cup of tea, with Roy Castle, in his kitchen, about a year before he died. My mate and I were doing an anti-smoking campaign and he agreed to give us a bit of support. He was so charming.

No luck here for the second year, I got the rejection pack yesterday.

I didn't get a place. It was so brilliant last year, so I'm pondering whether to get a charity place.

I didnt get a place either

My daughters colleague from her Regiment got a place - he competes in Triathlons and I think he rode it last year too.
