RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2015) Anyone?

[jefmcg]

Don't you want to check out the training plans and nutrition advice?

Do you think it's going to help much with the 200 300 400 and 600km audaxes I've entered?

I've put it in my diary so I'd better get in.

To be honest, probably not. Would they have hindered?

Definitely in - got the "congratulations" magazine in the post. And the letter confirms that only one ballot entry is needed for a tandem (with @srw ) - though they are limited to 100 this year. Mind you, there were less than 80 tandems signed up last year, and only 55 finished.

Just got home and ripped open the magazine packaging on the hope that I got a place. I didn't so I now need to decide whether I go for a charity place and can I raise the several hundreds of pounds that they require.

You can defer the other, and do it two years running :-)

Feel free to open mine too. I think rather fewer than 80 tandems started last year!

Has anyone got a hotel room near Stratford going begging?

Sorry I've just canceled my booking in the Holiday Inn Express Stratford two minutes ago before reading this thread again.

 

[Paulus]

No. Not in again. My mate just phoned me, and he is in. Bastard!

 

[User33236]

I'm completely confused! Both my wife and I got a 'congratulations' mag and a 'commiserations' one too!

Tip for those that haven't opened theirs you. If you can't see 'commiserations' through the wrapper then it will be a 'congratulations' one as they turn the mag over and put a sheet of paper over the cover.

Those that have neither yes or no when they log in but have donated their fee: Is that not a 'no' in this ballot but you still have a chance in the second ballot for fee donators only?

Yep, yours is a Congratulations as well. (I based the number of tandems entered on what the guys from JD Tandems told me at the stand when I signed us both in, but there's no easy way of telling how many actually made it to the start. Quite apart from the couple we saw mending their puncture three times between the bag drop and the start line...)

So...

... is a strong possibility!!

I booked into the Premier Inn again, as it's right on the doorstep of the start which is good if I get a super early start. But my word have they ramped up the price. Massively so for the Saturday night.

Poo. I'm not in.
