RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2016) Anyone?

[Zcapp96]

Doesn't seem to actually break any rules

(only skimmed it; I may have missed something)

Actually it is written somewhere (Maybe when you actually register) than multiple entries will result in all entries being cancelled.

"Please don't enter the ballot more than once as this could result in your entry being cancelled."

Well found @DaveReading I spent ages looking for that. Well a couple of minutes at least.

If you really want to do it, get a charity place and start fundraising

I just had a peek at the route, as I've been meaning to ride the it for a while, accepting that the London sections will be busy and unpleasant, but ...

Ye gods, that's horrible. There is no way on earth that I'm cycling down the A12 down the Lea valley (is it even legal? I drive up and down there sometimes and can't recall ever seeing a bike). OK that's just the first 10k or so, and it does get a bit better, but not much. Then the Cromwell road, how very nice and lovely.

I think I'll be working out a heavily edited route, that may still include Richmond Park and Hampton Court inside the M25 but otherwise avoid going North of the river for the crap bits. I'll get the Catford Cat to stand in for Buckingham Palace. It's got more style.

You're welcome

(There's no point doing the eastern part, that it just to get the riders from Olympic Park - a very suitable start point for 20,000 riders - to the real ride.)

Nice one, thanks. .

I pulled out last year, and carried my entry over until last year.
i have just paid my 2016 entry fee, this year i am considering attempting it on a single speed bike just to make it a bit more of a challenge, i will see how i am feeling nearer the time.

Prudential isn't sponsoring it anymore, it's just the 2016 RideLondon-Surrey 100

I think you need to cross that one off as well as they have extended their sponsorship - https://www.prudentialridelondon.co...rudential-renews-sponsorship-of-ridelondon-1/

It also mentions a WorldTour status womens road race event for 2016 so that should be good along with what ever else they have planned.

I can't see jefmcg's route from work but I've ridden the course a few times starting and finishing on the Mall.

Have you tried looking out of the other window?

Yep I did. Still can't see it.
