RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2016) Anyone?

[benb]

Yes, I'm in!
So for me, that's:
Ballot
Charity
Skip
Ballot

Not bad

 

[DazC]

You keep them?

What can I say... guess I like rejection

 

[Elybazza61]

Just to say that the recycling bin was a little fuller this evening.

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)?

If you just turn up and join a few miles in, you will not have the requisite stickers on your frame etc. Any bikes / riders without stickers are pulled up by marshals. You'll be okay on the sections in the sticks, but you won't make it to the Mall.

 

[Dec66]

I'm in.

No justice, is there?

 

[vickster]

I didn't get in. Hardly an issue as I won't be able to do it anyhow, so would have had to pay twice . Now to cancel the hotel I booked

I'll marshall instead

 

[Markymark]

Woah woah woah.

Everyone needs to hold their horses. Nobody is quite yet in.

I'm demanding a recount. You can start being happy once that has taken place.

My better half and I both got in this year so very chuffed.

Couldn't see any info about bike transfers from the finish back to Stratford. Do they still do that?

Commiserations magazine again. Ever year now, applied for five London marathons in a row and never got a place in any of them either.

 

[sleaver]

I just tried and it took me to a screen asking for card details. I haven't had a magazine yet unless it is waiting for me at home but I guess I'm in.

If so, my run of ballot failures is over

I've only ridden my bike about three times since the last one....................oh boy I've got some training to do

I'm home now and it's confirmed, I'm in.

I've got a really low rider number as well as in below 2000. Last year mine was above 35,000

They did last year but the "Transport Options" email doesn't come until a couple of months, if that, before hand.

Last year I was 13133. It wasn't until I was back home I realised that I had two number 13's on my lid, and bike, and ( miraculously) nothing unlucky happened to me.

Mind you, I was wearing my 'lucky' pink socks.

Are you sure? I mean, those socks, surely someone must have changed them without you knowing

33850 last year, 1825 this year! So chuffed to be in, charity place last year and it was one of the best days ever. Can't wait to repeat it!
