Ride London 100

Looks like my brother (dbr) didn't get in, and I did. The only difference in our application forms were our first names, so it seems totally random in our case!

I don't think it's likely to be that simple. Judging from your usernames, there might also have been an issue involving your middle names. :)

Mine has been cancelled. Going to write a complaint to my local MP and also contact daily mail

No middle name box on the form y'see...

Luckily I went on a date recently with a girl who works in the relevant department at TfL... we'll see how that one works out.

The NSA sees all.

I emailed the helpdesk and the replied that there is no way to check the status of registration online currently.

Now when you email them it auto responds with that message so they must have been bombarded with queries - doesn't mean that they aren't lying blind

The official result of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 ballot will be via a magazine in the post today (Mon 3 Feb). If you haven't heard from us by Monday February 17th call our helpdesk on 020 7902 0212.

A mate called up to check the online statuseses were correct and was informed that they weren't reliable, and that post was the only means to be reliably confirmed (and mentioned something like security breach yadda yadda yadda)

Sounds like a bit of a fuckup, though not sure how the online status could be inaccurate, yet populated in a reasonably realistic success rate.

Basically I think there's still some mileage in making this as difficult as possiible, so they're stretching it out....

Oh. I'm in according to the maybe-accurate mobile link. Who delivers news via a posted magazine in 2014?!

No email, I think, did I even get a shot ?

Confused

I've definitely gotten in - pack arrived today.

Go to this link to check if you've been accepted or not - enter your email address:

Failed! :(

Ah Bollix… Neither me or my missus got in by the looks of it.

No reunion on the Mall this year I'm afraid Hoke..

I know, sad times! :(

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.

Misread his name as Hugh 'Basher'

I'm in.

I guess I'll call them tomorrow.

Cancelled means not in right?

'fraid so

Ha! Just realised we had to book our holiday in Cornwall for the same time as the Ride London event so just as well neither of us got in..

I have a charity place. Expect an appeal.

Yay! I'm in!

Logged in to my account - it says "Cancelled".

same; fuck them

Do some audaxes instead if you can't get in.
