    My bike still has both the 2014 and 2016 number stickers on it.  They’re really sticky, can’t be bothered to remove them 😀

    Just out of interest what is the legal position regarding riding any closed road event without paying an entry fee? Does the road closure order just cover motor vehicles?

     

    It’s a dick move.  Ride elsewhere that day – the roads will be free of cyclists ! 

    They may be free of cyclists but full of cars due to nearby closed roads!

    You may get pulled off.

    I wouldn’t necessarily consider that a disincentive.

    Not sure on legal position but you’d look like a dick, congest the course even more and make it more dangerous for everyone else, and make it harder on emergency services if anything goes wrong for either you or people who have paid.

    I am not sure anyone would spot you are a numberless rider in the flow of people. Someone suggested getting up early and doing it at 4am. Though the prospect of getting up at 2am and riding the course in the dark is not appealing. You’d probably get caught by the quick ones at the front. I do have last years number, which would be very cheeky, though I would be embarrassed for 100miles thinking some one would spot it, though probabaly no one would notice or care.

    Its not clear, it’s possible it may be more than one place, I very much doubt its as many as one place per volunteer.

    Conveniently muddy – I expect it’s one for ten people. That’s gonna be an awkward decision.

    Is that one guaranteed place per person, or one guaranteed place?
