Email the org, they are the only one that can say.
It depends on the ride and the org. Sometimes, they may have a village hall and be using that for multiple distances (a 200 and a 100), so might be there anyway for the later start of a 100.
But if it is a more shoe string event, the org probably won't be hanging around a car park in the cold waiting for late starters.
One thing to not take liberties with is the finishing time - if you start half an hour late, don't expect the org to give you another half an hour to finish as that is very unfair on them to have to hang around even later at the end.
One final option is to put out a plea on here and YACF and see if anyone from your area is doing the ride and can offer a lift for petrol money.
Hope that helps.
