RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2015) Anyone?

[Onyer]

Well I have a place, I just have to pay

How do you know you have a place? Are you doing it through a charity? As far as I understand the ballot is not being held until February 2015.

Cos I had to pull out of my ballot place for 2014 on medical advice Get an automatic place for 2015 if I want it

Ah, I see. If I get a place myself I may see you there!

Same here. I'm in too

It is frustrating that the cost increased, but I do at least hope to get back the 2014 fee as part of the accident settlement (eventually) !

Hopefully the weather will be better and the full course available

Well I have gone and done it - signed up for a place with Great Ormond Street (GOSH). This will be my longest ever ride and the training has already started. I decided to go for GOSH as my son wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. Two lots of neurosurgery and 15 years of care under the world class neurology and kidney teams will be my inspiration through the pain and torture that I have signed up for .

A worthy cause.

(OK, weirdly I just got spam from London Marathon, suggesting I enter this. But they've used the (unique) email address that I registered with RideLondon, so I think they got their bulk lists mixed up.)

Anyway, this is the important bit:

Enter the 2015 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 ballot today for your chance to be part of an amazing weekend of cycling. The closing date to enter the ballot is 17:00 on Tuesday 6 January 2015 so don’t delay!

Edit: removed tracking email link, use https://regonline.activeeurope.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1589802

I thought the ballot had been filled months ago?

 

[vickster]

I got the same email, despite having confirmed my place. Maybe they opened more spaces?

Do they also provide knees that work with the entry number?

 

[Freds Dad]

Have they confirmed spaces or are they still taking names for the ballot?

I entered the ballot back in September and had an email today asking me if I wanted to be entered into the ballot.

 

[jefmcg]

They are still taking names for ballot. Results are out in February.

If you are concerned if you are in the ballot, just put the email address you used in https://regonline.activeeurope.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1589802. It should tell you that you are already in the ballot.

I have entered the ballot twice and failed twice, but have (happily) done it twice through Charities. 2013 was for Sue Ryder Care and 2014 was for Lymphoma Association.
For 2015, I am going to give it a rest, reluctantly. My previous sponsors will be relieved, it's fours years in a row that I have extracted their money.

I will probably do a couple of Wiggle Rides instead.

I put my name down before Christmas. Now I wait. I never do Sportives and the like, but this one seems worth doing.

I can't seem to find my registration ID number, or the page on line where I logged on to enter to see my entry details. No amount of googling seems to help. Any ideas?
