Looks like it might be a bit quieter than RL100
120k is £55, or £44 if you use ROADCC as the voucher code
Where do you put the voucher code? Looks like it might be a bit quieter than RL100

Seems like the 'closed road' element wasn't locked in or has the potential to be vetoed by the local council.

Indeed. I wasn't too impressed when I spotted that last night. If the roads aren't closed, I'll be wanting a refund. The route itself is largely nothing special and will be little different to any other open road sportive.
I'd rather fully enjoy my friends wedding on the Saturday if the roads aren't closed.

I've gone and booked a weekend break in Wales around the event, off the back of it being closed roads. Doesn't make sense to cancel if that changes but I'll not be impressed. I chose this over the Etape Cymru (much better route) specifically because it was a closed route. I wonder how many others will be spending tourism money in the area for this event?
Early Bird entries have opened for 2016
I noticed it's possible to start as a team, all in the same pen, so I created the imaginatively titled PistonHeads team. Estimated completion time (for pen allocation purposes) of 04:00-04:30.
If anyone else also thinks Velothon would be even more fun as a team, you can put that down when you register. Even if we split up when the climbing starts, it'd make the start more social.
If not, it'll just be me and Pablo. So sign up anyway or he'll be pulling all the way round...
