RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2018) Anyone?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Not for me neither.
Surely they could give the people who never get in after years of trying a chance.Totally unfair some people keep getting in year after year.
F**k em!

I won't find out until this evening - I had a quick look at thttps://hub.realbuzzregistrations.com/event/realbuzz-registrations/2018-prls-100-uk/ but although it shows I am in the ballot, I don't see the result.

@vickster if by some miracle I do get it I would love to take you up on the hotel reservation as I did not even bother to book one this time around.

Np. I will need it if I get into the 46. Might be worth booking something flex in the meantime which you can cancel

I don’t know many who get multiple ballot places. They may use a club space (which could be deemed unfair) or charity

 

[lazybloke]

Its a no for me. Gutted that I passed it over last year and then missed the e mail to re-register for this year.

What's that? Are you saying you can defer a year? Is this the pay twice option if you're injured, or something else?

Yes, really if injured or sick. But I don't recall having to provide a sick note

Got my commiserations this morning, I've lost count how many of these I've got. Going to try for the 46, did it last year, loved it

Cheer up doggie! You could still come down and do the Saturday silly sightseeing ride, not need to take time out to trek to Excel, watch the evening races unencumbered by a need to get up early the next day and depending on trains, get home again and save the inflated hotel room prices.

Comisserations for me also. I have received a rather smart waterproof/wind proof jacket. I think this must be because I donated my entry fee to charity if I was unsuccessful.

I heard there was a second ballot in 2017 for people who did this. I’m correct in thinking I might have a second chance.

Got in last year so I’ve had one success in six attempts.

Afraid not - the second draw takes place at the same time as the first one, so you'd already know if you were successful in that. I only know this because someone (probably on here) once said they'd received the Congratulations magazine a few years back with a note saying that they had failed in the original ballot, but got in through the second chance one for those who pre-donated their fee.

Well it's 5 out of 5 commiserations for me this year and just to rub it in they sent me 2 commiserations magazines so that makes it 5 attempts and 6 knock backs!

Now, if you know anyone who's got in, you've an ideal opportunity to swap their magazine and profess ignorance by showing that you've still got yours, claiming they've must have dreamed getting in...

 

[Freds Dad]

I've not had mine yet but I know it will the Commiserations version. I want to keep my run of receiving these up.

Managed to keep my run up. Another Commiserations magazine.

I'm becoming a successful failure.

 

[Heigue'r]

Didnt get in.3rd fail.

 

[Specialeyes]

Finally, first success in 6 attempts at the ballot here!
Will still ride for Diabetes UK (5th time) though without the pressure of the fundraising target
