    Yet again I didn’t make it through the ballot, I think I’ll avoid disappointment next year and not bother.  

    All the more frustrating when the TV coverage featured people who admitted not being regualar cyclists and had done virtually zero preparation.

    Yes, I can make a big charity commitment and get a place but after orgainising a fundraiser last yeat I can’t go asking friends and family to donate yet again, especially when they know I’m a regular cyclist anyhow.

    What other 100 miler would people recommend in the South/South East?

    Dunwich Dynamo is the same

    Dunwich Dynamo is the same weekend as Ride London this year and IMO is much more fun. Whilst the closed roads of Ride London is great the course itself is pretty dull and the bottlenecks that form around the climbs can be annoying. 

    If you really want closed roads then there’s the Tour of Cambridgeshire but entry does cost an awful lot.

    How and when did you find out

    How and when did you find out? I don’t appear to have recieved an e-mail yet from RideLondon telling me either way (despite having plenty from them initially and plenty from the charities).

    As an alternative, what about the Tour of Cambridgeshire…

    Seconded.

    Seconded.

     

    I’ve noticed almost every sportive sneaking North of the £30 mark, there seems to be more people year on year and less ‘bang fo buck’.

     

    Won’t neccessarily ride it the same day but certainly worth a GPX steal…

    Just go and ride it anyway.

    Just go and ride it anyway. It’s a small barrier that you hop over with your bike and start peddling. Just find somewhere quiet in central London.
