You can change your address if you have to by emailing them.

Or even simpler, they just brought a place (even though it isn't allowed) off someone. That someone doesn't even have to go to ExCel. Just give a copy of photo ID and a signed letter and bobs your uncle.

Seeing as I have never had the pleasure of getting a ballot place in anything, what happens if you do get one. Do you just pay the entry fee or can you change anything on your entry such as gender, age, name etc.?

You pay, they send various stuff to you throughout the year, if you need to change anything (other than contact details) you have to phone them to discuss it. Change of contact details can be done via email.

So there is nothing to stop someone registering at multiple friends houses and if a "congratulations" magazine shows up at one of said houses, emailing to get their address changed?

Why bother changing the address?

That could work, but if they did notice, you could get binned.

By the way, I'm not actually thinking of doing it and I would hope no one here would try any of the ways they have suggested either

Are you sure @Elybazza61 didn't mean that donating the entry fee doesn't make a difference to your chances in the initial ballot?

Yep that's what I meant Obviously didn't make myself clear.

Wow.
I present you Deborah, Mary and Ruth.
These are the just the first three women's names I found who's time was under 6 hours.

To be fair to Deborah and Mary, they could be the stokers, unless I've got it wrong that they are both tandems. Ruth, not so much.

(This is not a call for drug testing, saying that anyone has doped or anything like that but just wondering if it would happen for a high profile sportive that always highlights the first over the line?)

Gran Fondo New York 2012 do? http://velonews.competitor.com/2012...relevance-a-cat-3-turns-to-epo-and-hgh_232611

Oh, you are right. Apologies to Mary and Deborah.

(in my defence, I got them from the Individual list, not the tandem one. but no excuse for not noticing the second rider)

I was thinking of doing that next year.

I'm clean though apart from hayfever tablets and the odd Ibuprofen unless I suddenly get asthma again.

Well after completing it in 2013, not getting in in 2014 and 2015 and donating the entry fee to get the wonderful consolation prize I have entered the ballot again, however this time I am not donating the entry fee. If I don't get in I'll donate to a charity of my choice instead, probably Mind.

 

[Booyaa]

I've entered again. 4th time lucky hopefully.... I have entered as a male.

 

[vickster]

.... I have entered as a male.

Fancied a change this year?

haha. I did consider going for a female application but it would just be far too obvious to even hide behind the Easter European shot putter excuse.

Not bad, not bad. 7 pages and we've had our first silly spat and managed to mock any woman who doesn't conform to society's ideal for the female form. (Incidentally, Ostapchuk was a cheat and should be shamed for that, not her body.)
