Ride 100 London Ballot

[EltonFrog]

Apparently there was an option to " donate " £50 when first registering to get preferential ballot treatment. The enemy's colleague payed this, but did not get in.

Anyone know anything about this?

I didn't get in.

You can still get a place with one of the charities, if you are prepared to do some fund raising.

As I recall, you could "donate" your £48 entry fee. There was then a second ballot with 2,000 (I think) places for those who failed the first ballot but had donated their fees.

I see, thanks for clearing that up, there's still a chance her col may get in then. Maybe theyll wait to do the second ballot until after the deadline for payment of the first ballot.

I believe the 2nd ballot was done straight after the first - because several people have already said that is how they got in

I didn't get a place on the ballot system... boo... followed by a rejection letter in the post the next day... i did pay when i first registered and was sent a RideLondon 100 jersey along with my rejection letter. i have now registered with the charity Scope UK and will hopefully get a place with them, which will mean raising fund-age for the privilege... still a least its a good cause

Me (along with some team-mates) got a place but we won't be paying for them, I will be avoiding the event due to their appauling disability discrimination. If there was anyway I could give the slots away I would but they are non transferable .

Are any of the CC'ers going to arrange a "meet up" on the day?

Could do, but my guess is that we are unlikely to have similar start times.

Excuse my ignorance but what are they discriminating with?

And we don't know that until a month before the event, isn't it? Will try and post something closer to the time.
