Ride like a pro with Sky and Jag
Discussion
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!ETA: I'm in it for the day out really - no expectation of achieving anything. Looks a nice route anyway.

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

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

"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.

Alternatiely I hope it is do-able rather than dominated by mega-milers averaging 20 mph plus! (surely there are cycling clubs for that sort of thing!?)
The worcester isn't on strava but looks to be 40-50 miles of not too intimidating stuff.
ETA: I calculate 48.
