Ride London 100 2014
First up, we have a recommendation. If you fancy having a chance at riding the London 100 in 2014, the ballot has opened and is filling up fast. 60,000 have registered already and they will close it at 80,000 so if you want to give it a go, have a look at their registration page.
Early Start : The Benson Finger
For our 8am ride we are revisiting a great route planned by Mr Beezer earlier this year. It starts out pretty lumpy but we are rewarded with a fantastic downhill run and some lovely villages to amble through. The 2nd half is pretty flat so we plan to ride as a group. There is a shop at the half way point for us to refuel.
Usual Velos Ride
Mr Bembridge has kindly contributed a ride for this weeks ‘normal start time’ ride. Unfortunately he can’t lead it out so Sarah has volunteered to head up a steady paced group. As is the norm, we gather from 9:45am at the Rose and Crown Ivinghoe with a view to depart at 10am.
I entered the ballot when it opened. 😀
There’s alway’s the guaranteed Charity Places if you are unlucky with the ballot.
Good man Glenn. Hope to see you out with the Velos again soon.
Mark, absolutely right. A number of us rode using charity places this year. Was a wonderful event and worth getting in to any which way we can 🙂
I was hoping to have been back a month ago, life keeps throwing curve balls at me, soon (I hope).
Don’t rely on the charity ballot – the one I work for has had 1,000 enquiries for places!
Paul, that’s very interesting. Is that 1,000 enquiries for the 2014 ride already ?
Yes, don’t how many of them have enquired to lots if charities.
