Looks that way. Similar to other charities

2/4 for me now, did the first one failed to get in after that and this was my final try, so I'm pretty chuffed and determined to beat my 2013 time. I stayed in the Travelodge at Excel first time round and it cost about £60. This time no rooms at the Travelodge or the Premier Inn, but managed to get the Holiday Inn Express at £120 which is madness its a holiday inn express for christs sake!

I had a £55 booking at the ibis in Leytonstone, under 5 miles away. Dunno if more now

I was quite glad I was unsuccessful. Was only when I got the reminder email last week that thinking over the logistics of me and bike in London for two days was going to be complicated And expensive

In for the first time after 3 commiserations.

My question for the "regulars" at this, does the ride number mean anything with regard to start times ?

Bears no relation

Your start time is normally related to the estimated completion time you put in your entry - but seemingly not always

For those who need to stay overnight prior to the event, check out some of the hotels south of the river. Last year the Blackwall tunnel was closed to cars so cyclists could ride through to the start.

on top of that, there were a large number of marshals directing you to the start.

Just received an email saying my entry fee will be exchanged for a jersey, when I specifically remember making sure I wasn't paying if I didn't get entry. If it leaves my account, will raise a Dispute with my bank

I think it is in error as the two of us who entered and failed at work also got the email. We are both adamant that we did not tick that box. I suspect there will be a retraction email by eod tomorrow.

Got the Jersey too looks like I donated :/

Just to check, this came with the magazine saying unsuccessful? Or was it separate? I have the mag, no jersey, but today an email saying a jersey is on its way

Got the same email, followed closely by another without the bit about donating the fee.

It was either an error with the page design or deliberate to get more donations.

Yup, Now they are sending emails promising shirts to people who haven't paid, I am going to assume the buggy registration page was done in error.

It's a good rule of thumb to assume incompetence rather than malice. Apologies to RideLondon team.
