2016 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 - club entry
Well ... failed to get in through the ballot for the second time running.
If there is a possibility of a Beacon team entry I would be interested in taking a place.
Not sure how the process works - I think Phil R organised it last year.

Hi Andy...and another failure for me for the third year running...think this is discrimination against gingers!
Yes, I did organise it last year, and the year before that, and would be happy to do so again. Last year we got two teams entered via the club ballot but we applied for three teams, so you, John Deeley and Gareth Powley fell on your swords.
We agreed then that you three plus one other have first refusal for the guaranteed Beacon Club entry. I think we should stand by this decision from a year ago.
We can of course, go for more teams, so if anybody is really, really interested, i.e you failed the ballot and/or really want to do this ride and can commit the two days required and entry fee/accommodation/travel costs of about £150...post to this thread.
We have a few weeks to get the team entries in, and I'm happy to co-ordinate till we know how many teams we get allocated.
Post here if interested.

Thanks for volunteering to organise this again, Phil. I asked about the application process and got the following reply which I think means the same process as last year:
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your email.
Further information on applying for a cycling club entry will be made available in the upcoming weeks, applications have yet to open. Please keep an eye out on our website https://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/ ... challenge/ for further information.
Kind regards,
Callum

Hi All,
Firstly, thanks again Phil for organising.
I'd love to do this again but accept I am bottom of the list after bagging a place last year.
If I could be considered as 4th rider for a second team or something along those lines that'd be great.
This is me registering an interest but there are plenty who should be placed before me on the list.

Thanks, Laurence...Very helpful.
At present, there are 6 possible entrants stating their interest, suggesting two Beacon entries.
Can those who are keen and willing to say yes if we get through the ballot, post here. I will put forward the number of Beacon teams based on names posted here by March 13th.
As above, we are guaranteed at least one team which will include Andy Terry, John Deeley and Gareth Powley unless they declare themselves unavailable. Hence, a regular C-rider would be particularly welcome.

Yes, got you James and Stu.
To avoid any doubt, names so far are:
Guaranteed Team:
Andy Terry, John Deeley, Gareth Powley, VACANCY
TEAM 2 relying on ballot
James Tate, Stuart White, Phil Richards, VACANCY
We can apply for other teams if there is any interest, we could also be sneaky and apply for 3 anyway, which might guarantee us 2....

Last orders at the bar.
I need to enter two teams before Monday, and we could really do with a keen C-rider to enter the Beacon guaranteed team. Although no names are required for entries at present, if we do get a late boost in interest, I may go for 3 teams in the hope we get 2. Andy/John/Gareth, use your persuasive powers in the cafe on Sunday
We have 7 names so far, surely we can get 2 teams to wear the Beacon colours with pride in London...

So I've entered us for three Beacon teams, and we'll find out on 21st March how many we have.
If we get two or three and don't get the manpower, no worries, we just pay for the number of teams we can muster.
Seven names so far, so names still being accepted...It may seem a long way away, or a bit of a hassle, or a bit costly, but this closed road experience is second to none and is worth the hassle in my view...no give ways, no cars, just fast cycling.

The tactic of applying for 3 teams has paid off as I've just been emailed to say that Beacon RCC has been allocated TWO male teams for RideLondon100 2016.
So we have 7 names who are guaranteed a starting place, namely:
Andy Terry
Gareth Powley
John Deeley
Phil Richards
Stuart White
James Tate
Andy Clayton
We need one more Beaconite to take up the last guaranteed space, not bothered whether you've entered before or not, get your name down otherwise three people will be let down.
The event is on Sunday 31 July, one week after Kiddy Killer, so there should be loads of fit cyclists around...surely we can get this last slot filled?

That's me. The codes are NEWCMRA (Race) and NEWCMRD (Ride). See also https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/clubs/membership. The Race Bronze membership should actually be free in the first year with the club discount.Andy Terry wrote:I need to join BC for this event and it looks like the cheapest route is Bronze Race membership (£22), with 50% discount for being a member of an affiliated club. I'm told I need a discount code - any idea who to contact in the Beacon for that?

Everybody has had long enough now - Matt Clegg...you're in!
To avoid boring people with details, please can Andy Terry, John Deeley, Gareth Powley, Matt Clegg, James Tate, Andy Clayton and Stuart White email phil.richards@atkinsglobal.com using an address you actually use regularly and I'll outline the next steps.
Suspect James, Andy, Matt and Stu will be the 'Hare' team, and the rest of the us will be the 'Tortoise' team...an interesting analogy.

Andy, hope the link below works, if not drop me a pm with your email address and I'll see if that worksandrew clayton wrote:Can you post me the link and code please John...
If not, just google queen Mary university London accommodation and you'll soon come across it. It's the Whitechapel location.
Code is RIDE2016, think headline price is £57 but code discounts it to £40
Good luck
