RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2017) Anyone?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

A pessimist is never disappointed so i am expecting the commiserations magazine coming through my letterbox for the fourth year running.

I did it last year for a worthy charity, prostate cancer uk but i doubt if i'll be able to go down that route this year.

So whose going to find the link to check online early this year?

Apparently its this one:

www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/consoles/login/

I can't log in, so I'm guessing i'm a 'no' this year. Oddly, it also tells me my username isn't valid when I try to sign in for the Freecycle that i've also registered for, so thats a bit of a bad system IMO.

Anyway, I make it about another two weeks before this thread goes crazy with conspiracy theories about why "X" didn't get a ballot place for the 36th time in a row, even though they'd entered under 4 different addresses with varying estimated times and had paid in advance and had pledged their soul to Cthulhu...

Iä-R’lyeh! Cthulhu fhtagn! Iä! Iä!

Has anyone been able to log in? They may not have loaded the database yet

Didn't make any difference last year from memory....

Someone on Bikeradar apparently managed to do a 'forgotten password', which then allowed him to log in. He then got a '403 error' page. I have tried similar but get no email for the forgotten password.

I entered the ballot again but have since taken a charity place to raise money for the Royal Society for Blind Children; our little Etta was born in February 2016 and we have since discovered she is blind.

If anyone is thinking of a charity place or considering donating - I would recommend the RSBC - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Matthew-Wright33

Did anyone get the magazine today?

 

[cliveyp]

I wont find out until much later as i'm at work until 8pm tonight.

No. Did you?

 

[cosmicbike]

Nope, but then I am at work so won't find out until about 8...

I've not entered this year but wanted to say Good luck to everyone that has.
I opted for a charity place in the 2016 event, after being unlucky in the ballot (again). I didn't have a particularly early start, the roads were very congested, I had some mechanical issues (including two flats)... but none of that spoiled a fantastic day. The sun, the exhilaration, the crowds, the sense of achievement, the roads cleared of cars, all wonderful. Even the camaraderie was good (I was a solo rider).

Want to do it again now.

 

[Nomadski]

Yep good luck everyone. Hope me mate got in, has yet to get thru the ballot in 4 attempts so far.
