    You mean on the day of the event itself or some other random time?
    Some other time it’d be a rubbish ride and a lot of it simply wouldn’t be doable due to one way systems, dual carriageway etc.

    On the day of the event…
    They were pretty damn strict last year about checking; loads of marshals, lots of barriers. And besides, it’s really not the done thing, its very poor form even in an open road sportive, I imagine you’d get no end of grief even from other riders.

    Any more news on the test event ?

    It isn’t a separate event. It is part of the main field 🙂

    No place for me this year – I was hoping they’d take pity on me following last year’s debacle.

    Why not? I did that last year & raised £1,000 for DiabetesUK and had a good time doing it! I did put a time that I was aiming to beat on my justgiving page so it didn’t come across as a pootle around London.

    Mine is showing as cancelled too. 🙁

    Fair play to those that have got in, hopefully it’ll be vastly better weather this year!

    I’ll take a look at the charity spots, as a few tend to become available through my employer, but the minimum sponsorships levels are usually way too high. I’m never going to realistically raise £700 by myself, I’d be lucky to do half that, which then makes it a very expensive day out.
