RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2015) Anyone?

I didn't get in either and although I'm disappointed, there's always next year and there's loads of other rides to do so it's not the end of the world!

(make sure you book the bus back for DunRun in plenty of time. They sell out, and the trains can only take 7 bikes, so you could end up cycling another 30 miles back to Ipswich)

Or you could do the right thing and save even more money by riding back to London.

you'll save some serious money there. I just signed up for 4 audaxes, came out cheaper than one RideLondon. The only reason the price is even close is that one of them goes for 40 hours, includes home cooked meals and a room with mattresses, so came to an extortionate £30!

I was wondering if I could ride some of the way back, say 50 miles then pick up a train to central, where I am hoping to have my car????

I always ride back, it's pretty easy riding and there are plenty of bail out options - except it's the same trains as people have caught at Ipswich so they might be full (I don't know though as I've never caught one). I would avoid driving a car after a night ride though.

Not sure I'll manage riding all the way back :/
I'm not far from central so wouldn't be a long drive. Just easier/cheaper than the train. I have about 6 months to sort myself out. Most I have done is 68 miles.

This is what I read on my receipt page.

"This registration was cancelled on 28/01/2015 07:58"

Still I have got the 120k Velothon Wales to look forward to.

Seems they cancelled some/a lot the same time, a bulk NO.

Looked at my pal's entry on a phone yesterday, it comes up with the cost, but there's no word 'approved' anywhere? Does that mean she's in or still TBC?

Should mean they are in, just wait for the congratulations magazine this week.

Just had a look at mine, there is a link on documents tab at top of page for the invoice which gives you cost, think that means they are in

 

[vickster]

Thanks she will be pleased...erm or not!!!

That's what I have too - "Adjustment due to changes in fees, date 29/01/2015, amount due £58". I didn't tick to donate my entry fee so I guess that means I'm in too.

I think I might have a place - I have a link to an invoice. 3rd time lucky!
