Prudential Ride London - great news we've bagged a team spot!

I've just received an email from Ride London and I'm delighted to let you know that we've secured a team entry.

I submitted an application for two teams: one male (4 errr... males) and one mixed (2 male + 2 female). We have been allocated the one male team entry. So sincere apologies to any of the ladies in the club who had their eye on a place.

I'm expecting more than four applicants for the team, so first of all, please consider the following conditions:

• each rider within the team must pay their own entry fee (£69) and complete their own online entry form; all four riders in the team must have completed and paid for their entry by 17:00 Friday 25 May or the team will not be entered and not score in the club challenge. It is not be possible to merge any incomplete teams.

• every rider in a team must be a current British Cycling member.

• riders who hold an Elite or Category 1 British Cycling Race Licence are not eligible to enter the Club Challenge.

• riders who have already secured an individual place through the original entry ballot or a charity place are not eligible to enter the Club Challenge.

• once a rider has paid for their entry, they are not able to transfer their entry to another rider. Should riders no longer wish to take part, they can withdraw and defer their place to the 2019 event.

If you're good with all that and want to enter then please send an email saying so to swanwheelerscc@gmail.com by Wednesday 11th April. We'll then do a draw and announce the four riders at the AGM.

That is great news - I encourage everyone to have a go

I would love to do this but foolishly am on holiday this year for the ride. Maybe next year!

If for some reason there aren't four people going for it let me know and I'll go for it and defer a place - but fully expecting lots of you to want to do it this year!

I'm encouraged...

Would have loved to do this but I’m also on holiday.

I am here for this after all so would love to do it.

Please email Matt on the link above to get your name in the hat Guy, if you haven’t that is.

Thanks Paul, already done it👍

The winners of the draw are the AGM where, Guy Wood, Wolfgang Hink, Mike Smith & Paul Woodham.

Don’t forget to enter guys see the details above.
If you need to join BC I do have some First Time Application Forms which do offer a little saving if required.

Or follow https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/clubs/membership

The above will receive an email shortly once I’ve submitted the details (Monday evening by the latest). This is your route to entry.

What a performance that was but all done ✅ and entered.

all done

How’s does the team scoring work you may ask?
Teamwork is of the essence as the official time for your team will be the time recorded by the last rider of the team to cross the Finish Line in The Mall.

Teams are reminded that this event is a timed challenge; it is not a race.

Read that on their website as well - Timed challenge vs. Race 🤔🧐🤨 what is the difference really? 😂
