    Just over 24 hours after the ballot opened for the 2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100, more than 50,000 people have registered to take part in next year’s event, which will take place on Sunday 10 August 2014 and will form part of the Mayor’s festival of cycling.

    Am I only the one disappointed that not only does the ballot entry try to confuse you into paying an entry fee but that they are selling entry to a separate ballot with a better chance of winning if you can afford to risk the entry fee up front?
    Hardly goes along with their stated aims of inclusive olympic games legacy.

    Speaking of which, don't forget the ballot is weighted.. if you select a time (fast) with fewer riders you have more of a chance.

    The ballot is drawn randomly utilising the answers provided by registrants on their entry forms. It was weighted for Health and Safety purposes to help the maximum number of people get safely around the route within the nine hour time limit.
