Am I in?

Scratch that - I kept clicking. I am not in.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Nope.
I did it once for charity in 2016 but have never been successful in the ballot.
I say this every year when i am bitter and twisted but i am sure they work to a criteria and probably being too old is one of them.
Still i will give it a go next year.

Slow postal service here, so thanks for the link @jifdave.

Another rejection sadly, which it says "cannot be transferred" !!!! That would have been mean

Might try for the 46.

Edited to add: Congrats to everyone who was successful!

 

[toffee]

I am in

Wonder if Mrs T is?

And the commiserations mag has just arrived, with a note that says "almost 70,000" applied to the ballot, and places were "drawn at random".
Ah well, I might do a solo overnight version at some point.

I haven’t got in the last few years.

Think I rode 3 years in a row.

2013 my riding partner got his feeding strategy very wrong, he didn’t eat breakfast! So we got diverted and missed box and Leith I think. Did about 80 miles.

2014 was the torrential rain and became the ride London 86... although this was the best year for me.

2015 rode for scope and finally got to do the 100.

Never had a sniff since.

I have ridden the 46 once and would again as it was a decent ride after a couple of injuries.

I did the first four years

2013 was brilliant, got in the ballot
2014 Did it for charity and it pissed down for the first 2 hours then it fecked it down for the next 2.5 great fun.
2015 Not so good, got in the ballot, but two many people too many crashes.
2016 Won a Continental Tyres comp for a place, that was worse than 2015 in terms of accidents.

I'd like to do it again, but probably won't.

Oh fancy that, yet another commiserations-but-we'll-shaft-you-for-a-place magazine. GFY, you bunch of crooks. I've got more chance of six lottery numbers coming up than winning a place....

 

[cm2mackem]

I'm in after lots of attempts

 

[mjr]

I don't mind people knowing how old I am........but i get your point!

Just as well because you've left the old version of your photo attached to the edited post! You need to click "Delete" on the old one!

Thanks for that link.

You have unfortunately been unsuccessful in gaining a place in the 2019 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 ballot. Please click here to see other entry routes available.

Quelle surprise. My streak continues ...

If you keep streaking, that may be why they don't trust you to wear clothes on the actual ride!
