This seems to tick all the PH PP boxes

Earnest blokes in Rapha - tick
Jaaags - Tick
Strava - tick
Bragging rights - tick

Looks quite good though. I'm signing up for the Worcester one.

I have also signed up for the Worcester one.

ETA: I'm in it for the day out really - no expectation of achieving anything. Looks a nice route anyway.

Ha - me too - don't think I'd impress the Sky lot with my '74 five speed Peugeot with chrome mud and chain guards!

Route does look good. I was expecting a little 5 mile hop around Worcester. That looks about 30 odd miles to me.

Having blown the tiny map up it looks like it takes in chunks of my commute and one or two other leisurely rides.

Looks like Listers - Worcester - Bransford, Suckley, Martley (avoiding ankerdine), clifton, Great Whitley, Ombersley and back broadly.

Looks like an inclusive route (in terms of ability) actually. Avoids the Malverns and Ankerdine Hill. Looks mostly country lanes/small roads, I think about 40 miles.

Quite looking forward to this actually

I registered for the Southampton one and have since received the following email:

Email said:
Thank you for registering.


We can confirm that you’re registered for the Ride like a Pro event on 13th October (provisional as cycling club are arranging and need to pass by their committee however most definitely this date). We will email you again before the event to confirm your ride.
Guess I just wait and see

Not received any email either although I didn't tick the box to receive mails from Jag, so not sure this affected this.

Also they let you put your details in when already at capacity, and I'm now not sure if they were at capacity (Harwoods event) when I registered or not as didn't read the page fully smile

"Cyclists across the UK will have the opportunity to Ride like a Professional in association with Jaguar and Team Sky at organised events between 21st September and 13th October."

So Sky and Jaguar's definition of the UK is.......








...... England
Nothing north of Newcastle or in Wales. So why advertise it as UK wide if it is only in England? Shame, would liked to have done this if there had been a central Scotland option.
