London - Surrey 100

So I've won a slot on the LS100 part of Ride London which I was chuffed about until I realised that :-
1. It was £48 to enter !
2. You have to go to the Olympic Park the day before the ride to collect your start number and timing chip.
Who else thinks that this is scandalously cheap ? £48 for a ride, plus £27 for a Travelcard to collect the stuff they should be sticking in an envelope and posting to you (and a day off work), plus another £27 for a Travelcard to get to the bloody ride. Over £100 to ride on a sportive ?? Seems very bloody expensive. :evil: :evil:
Can someone please sell me on the value of this ? I was really excited until I realised all this.
And how in Gods name can someone not in London do this ride having to come down twice in 24 hours ?? ?
Incredible !

So you thought it was a freebie??? WTF?
Also 20000 people you really thought we'd all be able to turn up on the day and register??
Reality check required.
£48 to be able to ride traffic free through London and out to the Surrey Hills is a bargain imo.0
