Just checked my email (from last year), I got this after the event:
"I am writing to apologise for your experience at the start of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 when you were mistakenly taken off course.
I am in the process of interviewing riders, marshals, drivers, sector managers, safety managers, ‘coners’, route directors and control-room staff to ascertain the exact chain of events that led to the incident.
Whatever the result of the review process, the bottom line is that, as Event Director, this happened on my watch and therefore I take responsibility.
I hope that it did not totally spoil the event for you and that you were able to enjoy the rest of the ride and the experience of cycling on traffic-free streets.
I would like to offer you a free guaranteed entry to the 2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 where we will invite the same riders from Black Wave A to start the event.
You will get a link to a guaranteed entry in February, so please do put the date of Sunday 10 August 2014 in your diary.
Once again, many apologies for this incident.
Hugh Brasher
Event Director Prudential RideLondon"
I've had no link though, and entering my email address gives me "not found" in that checker.
Hmm.
