RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2015) Anyone?

[Lisat]

Never done it, never entered it but may just enter the ballot on the off chance that I get in.

Red Cross have 2015 for £10 registration and 399 sponsorship... is it too early to sign up?

Go for it if you can, give you something to prepare for, focus on (reference your other posts today)

I received this reply from Marathon Photo to my enquiry about why there weren't so many photos this year:

Hello Carl,


Unfortunately, due to weather conditions a large number of photos were not of a saleable standard.


Kind Regards,

One of the photographers I was chatting to at the end said he knew several photographers whose cameras had packed in due to the damp.

My mate is going to be away in the land of no internets and has asked me to put in his registration for him.
Can anyone remember the questions?

IIRC: Name, birthdate address etc, est time, name of any gyms & cycling clubs belonged to, other sportives done. Anything else?

May be being a bit to efficient, but I have already booked a hotel for the Saturday night. The Premier Inn at Stratford is already showing as not available so I thought I'd better get somewhere close booked before its to late. May not have been a problem but better to be safe than sorry.

Got the Premier Inn at ExCel so a 3 mile warm up rather than the 200m last weekend.

£399 sponsorship does seem reasonable, I would have some hope of raising that type of figure, rather than the £1,000 the lady I was chatting to at the start had to raise. She was £250 short and didnt know what they would do about it.

i saw a lot for around £500 minimum. i have managed 737 this year, which is ver my target. i struggled though. Stroke is the official charity next year and their minimum is in the 500's with a 20 squids registration.

Do you mean you won't ride if you have to wear a helmet ????

 

[vickster]

Yes, that's what they mean

Ridiculous

Ridiculous

Why? There is no compulsion to wear a helmet in the UK

(although I do)

 

[AndyWilliams]

£500 minimum sponsor........I dont think I could make that :/
So if I dont get in via ballot I have to do it for charity?

 

[vickster]

Yes, pretty much, unless you win entry in some way or work for the Pru, TFL, are a celebrity, pro cyclist called Marianne Vos or Laura Trott, Jo Rowsell etc

or top up any shortfall on the £500 yourself
