I also had different reg IDs. But I did have to log in with my email address and password, so I'm sure they can match it up that way! Crap though, and I really want my start time.

I was going to be staying near the finish but it looks like a bit of a pain to get to the start now - it mentions that if ride in on bike you will be impacted by the road closures. But it is difficult to plan ahead what route to take because the map is so poor - I wasnt minding riding 8 or 9 miles in but that was assuming a fairly direct route such a route might not be possible now!

equally frustating
I am staying at the excel travelodge so will ride in, my wife had planned to drive somehwre later so I could meet up, that was the option I chose but parking looks to be a nightmare so I thought about the train from waterloo but getting a spot for a bike on SW trains isn't proving to be very easy, I was looking to go to Richmond or even home to Farnborough but can't find out if I can get a bike on the train.

It gets worse.
I thought I'd try calling South West Trains to see what they recommeneded regarding getting a cycle on a train on that day as it was likely to be busy. So I got a number from the website, eventually got through to an Indian call centre where a very nice person told me it should be no problem getting a cycle on a train to Richmond on a Sunday but if I'd like to call SW Trains customer service to check if I needed to book here was the number to call. She then gave me the number I had just called and was speaking to her on.

New to this site, I have entered this ride through The Stroke Association a good few months ago, I booked a hotel in Leytonstone, which is lucky as it seems that the entry to the start will be to the north of the Olympic park looking at the latest map, planning to get the train back to Guildford.
Longest ride so far, 80 miles in the wind and rain last weekend just need some hill work now.

Have been training for the London 100 since 1st April and have done a couple of 100 milers, the 1st one with others being last weekend at the Nottingham 100. Learnt a couple of lessons from that.
I'm on holiday for a fortnight starting Sunday. Get back on the 14th July, which by my reckoning gives me 2 weeks of further training and a tapering week before the big event. Does anyone have any tips for regaining fitness I'll have lost whilst sunning myself for a fortnight?!?!
