Its a no for me, breaking my odd numbered year lucky streak. Ah well.

When does the super secret second ballot that noone ever seems to get in on take place?
It happens immediately after the actual ballot, so the results go out at the same time. Have already seen a tweet today from someone saying that they got a letter with their "Congratulations" magazine that said they had missed out on the main ballot but got in on one of the 1,000 second draw spots.

It already has been. I got in on it last year, I didn’t pre pay this year, so a no is a no, except it isn’t, because I’m riding for a charity.

Entered two years in a row. Won the ballot twice.

Not sure I'll be in UK this time, so will decline an let my entry go to the next round ballot.

There aren't any further ballots after this - if you don't use the place you've won, it gets allocated to a Z-list celeb* instead.



* - actually it just gets wasted, but I thought I'd put that cause I know how much it winds up certain people on here that a large-ish number of places go to allegedly famous people every year!

Last year my wife got in via the ballot and I didn't. She paid and deferred her entry.

This year, I got in too so we can both ride in 2019.

Any idea when she'll hear about her deferred place, and how to take it up?

I think you were supposed to do that a while ago, you might have missed the window.
