Ballot Date - RideLondon 100

[kiethton]

Hi Guys,

First time in this forum...

Have my name in the hat for the above, any idea on when they draw names?? - The website only says February.

On a seperate note, start the daily commute on the bike in the morning - Lee (SE London) into near Bank tube down the Jamacia Road on a Bianchi (black frame, white tyres)...give me a wave if you see me!

(I did attempt Orpington to work over the summer but 31 miles a day was a little much...)

I too have applied, on 3rd jan they had over 50,000 apply.

you should know by 7th Feb

I wont start training till after the London Marathon in April.

It's in the next few days I think.

Got a big push on last minute sign ups.

Hopefully they won't have the 75,000 they need to close it

I signed up for this a few months ago.

How many places is there to be taken?

Through lewisham, up lompit, and through New via old Kent road into town I assume? I ride that way 4 days a week..- on a black cannondale cross bike

I will look out for you, I used to go that way but I now turn right just after lewisham station and go towards Depford in via the Jamacia road/Tooley St to London Bridge, less traffic lights, fewer buses and mostly quieter single carriageway. Although it's 0.1 of a mile longer for me (according to google maps) it should be a lot safer, seems to be fewer hills too.

Yeah it does especially when charity places are added in addition....

So if they hit the 75k cut off there is a 1 in 3 chance, still better than the marathon I guess

[a boardman]

should know this week who has got a place on this.

Exactly that Gismo. I can't wait to find out, but expecting not to get in. And if I do, I hope some of my mates get in too!

Same as you Dean! I'd love a place and I'd love my 7 friends who I suggested it to get a place also! It'll be just my luck that they all do and I don't!

Or the other way round! You on your own for 100 miles.

I've got fingers crossed but not expecting much.
