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

I'll probably use the cable car to go and sign on to the event on the Thursday night, I believe you're allowed up to two normal bicycles per car, but I'll check the facts before I turn up there.

This is correct, but we have had 3...

I am having to pull out of Ride 100 on medical advice due to unresolving injury issues I have a single room booked via Expedia at a cheapie, basic hotel (£45) not too far from the Olympic Park (3 miles) which I am about to cancel (Silk House Hotel). This may be of interest to someone so presumably you could call and book (or do via Expedia)

BUT, dont use the cable car on race day, it does start running until 9am, so you will miss the race!

Oh, is it a race?

It can be what ever you want it to be, as long as you can ride 100 miles in the time limit of 8 and half hours.
I'm sure the riders at the front will be going for it, the majority of us will be plodding along, a bit like the London marathon, it's a race against yourself; only a few enter with the aim of actually winning.

I hope the run up to 2015 goes really smoothly for you, sorry to hear you had to drop out of this one, but happy you were able to make what must have been a tough decision.

If I finish I'll be happy, if I hit 6.20 (especially how I feel about that possibility at the moment) I'll be really happy. Anything beyond that is just icing :-)

Cheers. I think given my current health and the strong advice from the specialist to wait a year, I didn't have much choice. Means I don't need to fret about training/ not training, and can just concentrate on getting less crocked!

Off just before 7 - not sure if all the tandems are off together, hope so!

That would be good, wouldn't it - although we'll spread out quickly...

Nothing here yet, unless I've missed it.
