[TKF]

I've signed up to do it for the Sue Ryder charity, what have I gone and done....

[Rolls]

Get n... Just checked, and ford fair is a week later...

[Matt London]

Cancelled...... But doing IMUK on that day now anyway

[JPJ]

I'm in by the looks of things. Best get some more miles in the legs.

[caul pope]

Gutted

[Type R Tom]

I went to the dam press conference when it was first announced and was probably one of the first in the country to apply, obviously made no difference as I didn't get a place! Oh well a fair ballot I suppose.

[Potatoes]

Did Boris J get in?

[nammynake]

Cancelled too. Disappointed not to get in, but my main focus this summer is La Marmotte.

The route is beyond epic.. ~ you'll love it!

[AndrewM]

Looks like I'm in! Very pleased..

[oyster]

I'm just asking........ (before I get shot down in flames).
But it's being held on public roads. If it's anything like the L2B then they'll allow traffic to cross at certain points of the course. Which means it is a 'closed' course but not a closed course - if you see what I mean?
What's to stop you actually just riding the route on the day anyway?

[Jimbo.]

Expect to see £millions worth of carbon being pushed uphill...

[Johnny]

Cancelled.

45 quid

Only £45? To ride your own bike 100 miles? Amazing value.

[Type R Tom]

I wonder if there is any correlation between getting a place and how fast you claimed you would ride it in or how often you ride?

Also there was a box to tick regarding donations and paying money to charity (I can’t remember the exact wording) which I didn’t agree to, I wonder if that had any influence.

Good question. I'd also like to know to see if my friends could join me along the way.

[jaybarts]

If you haven't got a place in the ballot why don't you sign up with a charity? Or am I missing something here.

You can but I think I'd struggle to raise £600

Happy days...

Should we start an "in" table, and ride in a group?
