RideLondon - Surrey 100 anyone?

[Phoenix Lincs]

Ah, I'm not and I don't

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Wonder how many riders will be in each start time?

 

[Norry1]

Yep mine has arrived too - Start at 06:58

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Speedy @Norry1.

Strange, I put 8 hrs for my estimated time but have a slightly earlier start time than some who put 7.5 hrs -

Arrival: 06.34
Load time: 06.58
Start time: 07.34

Im guessing load time is when my wave starts the movement down the A12 towards the start, and start time is the expected time I will cross the line?

Anyone have any idea how they gauge the 9 hour completion time? From the timing chip, or from the given start time?

Silver Cannondale, Blue Tyres. Say hi!

I suspect it will be everyone off the course by 5pm so if you start before 8am you will have more than 9hrs. That why I was disappointed with my 7:56 start time.

Your start time does seem a little odd given where your at. Its a shame we couldnt update our registration with more up to date fitness info.

I don't think that is how they would do the time limit surely? Seems a bit whack for those with later start times if so.

Pretty much the same. I put down 8 hours and got 7.30 start whilst my mate put down 7 hours and got a 7.56 start time.

The word is that they will shut down the Leith Hill loop at a certain time in order to speed up those lagging behind and give them every chance to get to The Mall. I can't see any obvious opportunities for any other shortcuts.

same as that - also, I must have missed the email or just not read some of the paperwork but...I had no idea until yesterday I had to go and get the timing oojamaflip from the excel on the Saturday?!

other than the logisitical nightmare that getting there and back is bound to be, I'm really looking forward to it now

For people who're really slow, they could send them from Brooklands straight to Cobham

You can pick it up between 1st and the 3rd August. Think details will be in the final magazine that is apparently in the post.

I'm increasing the climbing in prep for the Surrey hills. The South Wales valleys and Brecon Beacons is great for it. Today's ride profile looks impressive until you notice that I lost 3 miles by forgetting to restart the Garmin after a stop at the entrance to a cycle path.

It looks like I rode up a cliff. http://app.strava.com/activities/63598422

I'm planning 60, 70 and 80 mile rides over the next 3 Sundays. Not tomorrow though, taking the Mrs to Wembley for Robbie Williams.
