I know this will sound bitter, but I wonder how many people won't get in because of people who were suddenly allergic to a bit of rain last year and therefore guaranteed their entry this year.

Mine also shows cancelled but is it the default setting before they announce the list of successful applicants.

It could be, but I don't think so, if you click on the receipt tab under documents you get this.

I did it last year, and didn't get in this year.

Well have you been lucky enough to get in before, rain or not? I have a place, pulling out on specialist advice (long before it started to rain) :smile:

I have done a shortened version but I haven't been lucky enough to do the RideLondon 100. Maybe people who pulled a 'sickie' due to the rain had the right attitude to make sure they get the opatunity to do the full thing.

Note - I am not complaining about people who pulled out due to actual proper medical conditions :smile:

If people did that I think they missed out, as disappointing as it was not to do the full course I will never forget the sense of achievement finishing after some of the things we went through, the 'puddles', seeing rivers flowing in Richmond Park while standing around for an hour due to man hole covers floating off, the big downpour 10 miles from the end when you literally couldn't see but the only thing you could do was laugh....I wouldn't change that for anything.

I can ride Leith and Box Hill whenever I fancy it with a bit of planning.
