Well I put 8.5 hrs to get round with a start time of 738 I will have to get a move on. 50 mile hilly ride on Saturday will give me a good guide on my time

I put the same time as you and also did a 50 mile hilly ride on Sunday - the Farnham Charity Bike Ride. I managed to do that, without busting a gut, in 3.39m and, given it was about 73°C (!) and quite an up and down route, was quite pleased.
Now, doing another 50 miles in a similar time is a whole different kettle of fish of course. However, one thing in our favour is the fact that the route is pretty level until Clandon with only a couple of draggy slopes to get up. What with that and the drafting effect of 19,999 other riders, I'm hopeful of feeling in far better shape at the foot of Newlands Corner than after 40 miles on Sunday.
How I feel after 65 miles is a whole different question of course!

Did everybody get the email about TNT delivering bikes to the excel and home after the ride? I don't need to do this, but if anybody needs the info and hasn't got it, post a message and I'll either PM you, or post the whole thing here. Whichever option would be best.
Take care

Get in contact with RideLondon ASAP. You register at their Excel show on 1st to 3rd August, but you need to bring along the registration form that was sent along with the magazine. Plus the magazine has some important information regarding layout of the finish etc so you want it.

Yeah Ive got it, bit of a jip at £60, plus you need to sort out your own insurance for it too, plus have to take bike apart to fit in one of their bike boxes. Was going the courier route until all that, now I'm thinking I'm catching a boat!

I will be similarly docked out in this
Although I imagine there will be a few thousand similarly attired!
I will be hopefully be wearing the official ridelondon shorts underneath, else I will plump with the old faithful Sportful shorts.

I bought a pair of these to remember the event to go with the Beating Bowel Cancer shirt.
Pure MAMIL but proud that I am even fit enough to attempt it. In October I was 23st and extremely unfit. On 4th Oct I will be 3 stone + lighter and hopefully riding down the Mall with £1,000 raised for charity. An eventful year

How long did it take to arrive?
What is the sizing like? The dhb RideLondon shirts and pants seem to be a size lower than the rest of my stuff going by the sizing guide, did you order one below or same, and how did it fit?

I haven't got them yet. I ordered them on Friday so hope they will arrive on Monday or Tuesday. I ordered the same size as my other DHB bibshorts. I'll let you know about the sizing when I get them.
