RideLondon - Surrey 100 anyone?

[fabregas485]

Well done everyone.

The pictures from today are great to see

Excellent job all round, I'd say. 12th August for the next ballot apparently - I have no excuse next time.

A question for those who were at the tail of the ride early one: I was just by the exit from the Limehouse tunnel and while the tailenders were still coming through, a convoy of maybe 12 artics (mostly CEVA) came rolling past. Does anybody know what they were doing there? The security guys were more WTF than I was.

Must have seen me then? Stedman

Finished in 4hrs 44 and 11 secs online says. Got in a fast group early on, tough last 7 mile or so, chanced it with a few mouthfuls of water passing the filling station, to then have my chain come off on a hill and struggled a bit catching groups and getting speed then.

Still, my first 100 and that time! I had thought 17.5 avg with drinks stop! 21.3!

...ceva artics probs the ones which transported the bags from start to finish?

I had an awesome day. Official time of 7:48. Riding time around 7:10. Beyond all expectations. Leith was challenging but box hill as a breeze.

I'll post some pics when I get home. Met a couple of CC people which was superb along the way. Can't wait for next year.

Well done all that did this.

Watched a good bit of it on the Box today (BBC and Eurosport).
Looked like a great run out.

BTW we got a great good bag and a really nice chunk medal at the end. Does any one know what the flippity blasty 'eck the prudential foil bag thing is for?

Urine?

 

[philinmerthyr]

Chuffed as anything. Managed 7hrs 48 when I was genuinely worried I might get swept up and made to short cut. I was close to tears as I turned off Whitehall onto the Mall. Clipper home was the perfect end to an unforgettable day.

I was 7:48 as well. I may have seen you at the finish.

edit: just realised, we probably started at different times. Oops

@CarlP howbig is the bag? If you can get in it it is so you dont get cold after fiishing

Will do a proper write up when I get home (still in premier inn for a second night) but had an amazing time, just as expected. Met @Phoenix Lincs and hubby day before and after race and had a plain awesome time.

Won't go into here but only downer on the day was my garmin ran out of juice at Kingston (i had left brightness on max from a previous ride) so had to record last 15 miles on phone so will have incomplete HR and cadence data for the ride.

Will also have to look how to combine multiple tcx or gpx together so I can have 1 complete ride.

So annoyed bout that

Anyway official time 6 hrs 31 mins 51 secs. Hoped for sub 8 hours so very happy.

Btw @Longshot were you right at the front of our wave? Like right in front of the tape? On left side? Think I spotted you but couldn't get over to you and the rider built up too much of a gap going down the a12.

So wished i was there

No, it's not that big. It looks like it for drinks, it has a drinks nozzle, but it is a very odd shape, amd has a big locking ring on it for hanging. Not a lot do use to cyclists I think.

 

[aerobrain]

Yeah its a collapsible drinks bottle

 

[EltonFrog]

Urine?

I don't think so, it's got a drinks nozzle.
