RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2016) Anyone?

[Beebo]

Ended up with Brittania Hotel,Canary Wharf;club guys used it last year and said it was good.

On another note,how big is the bag they give you for storing belongings in? Planning on travelling light so can go straight home after the finish(after some refreshment and rest!).

You get given the plastic bag when you sign in on the day before, so you can practice putting stuff in it.
i rode to the start with it inside a rucksack, and then just put the rucksack inside the bag. Simples.

You'll get a kit bag when you sign in which is a fairly large plastic draw string thing, you'll get another additional draw string bag, which is a different coulour, when you finish, with some goodies in it.

There's a "free" draw for places at the link above.

The price of entry is that you agree to receive spam email from Continental in which they will try to convince you of the absurd proposition that their tyres are somehow better than Durano+

Closes today.

Actually it doesn't close for a whole month yet (13th May).

But you have to have a Facebook account to be able to enter. Which I don't and won't.

Ooops. I just read the "13th" I missed the month.

You do indeed need FB

I've entered this to give me a much-needed target. It's really focused my mind! Staying in the hotel that rugby bloke recommended - Sale Sharks fan though I'm afraid mate!

Excellent, we could meet up for a beer on Saturday night ... and share stories of under performing rugby teams !

Hmm just realised this hotel is 10 miles from the mall

I think you are in the wrong hotel. Old Street is not 10 miles from the Mall, 2 or 3 I'd guess.

Around 6 Km., looks relatively straight forward, having said that I didn't ride it last year !

It's not well located for the finish. I've gone with the Travelodge at Waterloo again this year. It's very easy to latch on to the 'herd' heading to the start, from Waterloo, and close enough to the finish to make it easy to get back after the finish.

The only draw back with getting back to Old Street is that the obvious route - along the Embankment Superhighway will be closed as it forms part of the route. Will have to take the scenic route - up Piccadilly, work across to Holborn, down to Moorgate then up to Old Street.

 

[JuanLobbe]

Hmm I am blatantly in a different hotel. Closer to start than finish!

 

[rugby bloke]

That's a shame - have to put that beer on hold !
