RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2016) Anyone?

[Joffey]

So the predictable question - seeing as I won't be able to raise £500 plus for a charity place, I assume there is not a second ballot or another way in (aside from just turning up and joining in a few miles into the route)?

There will be a charity or two that don't have a minimum sponsorship level. Last year I did it for the Spinal Injuries Assoc who had no minimum donation. I raised about £250 which is about the max I can ever raise for some reason!

I'm in and so is the current MrsP.

Look, if you want to do that, there's more than enough theories about the weighting of the draw due to gender, age, geographic location, past events completed and club affiliations on the last few years' threads to fuel that without resorting to numerology of postcodes and time estimates!

Yebbut, this year is 2016. 16 .... geddit? 2 to the power 4!! It all makes sense

You have been a member since 4.8.12.
4+8 = 12
1&2 is 12
4+8+1+2 is 15
1+5 is 6 which is half of 12.

The sixth month of the year is June and in June 2016 the new 10th (9th) Planet comes into our solar system discovered by NASA in 1982 and not mentioned again until this year. This means that David Icke's reptillians will return by July, the banking system will collapse, Trump will be elected king, the elites will retire to their bunkers located on the dark side of the moon, which will be problematic as they have never been there before. There will be a magnetic pole shift and revised earth tilt caused by El Nino, that other planet and Cern.

So Ride London 100 might get cancelled

@123456789 have you got to much spare time at the moment

Third "Commiserations" magazine!

CBA to apply next year. Mind you saved a fortune on accommodation costs.

A no for me as well.

I am considering a charity place but they are all national charities. If I could ride for a local charity I would do it but when you read about the pay of the heads of national charities it makes me think twice.
I'll probably do the Manchester 100 instead.

+1

I won't be applying for one of the "thousands of charity places available"

I'm in the Wales Velothon in May, that'll do for me

Has it leaked out whether and how much charities pay for their guaranteed places yet?

What happens if you don't raise the minimum amount that charities require.

What happens if you don't raise the minimum amount that charities require.

They will keep chasing you (even before the deadline based on experience) and will probably not accept you again in the future (I asked one once).

As for can they "make you pay" what ever you don't raise, I don't know.

sticks a broom handle through your front spokes

I think you'll find that's a gold-plated, jewel-encrusted shooting stick.

 

[vickster]

Just had my magazine......... I'm in! But I'll be deferring my place to 2017. Going to do the Rise Above Sportive this year instead as my big one.

You have to pay twice if you defer

 

[vickster]

Errr, can anyone tell me how much the entry fee is, please? In my excitement at getting an acceptance, I just filled out all the details without even looking!

£58 I think

The trend continues
...although I took a charity place for the last two years but wont be this year.
