    OK, so as I was planning on using the Blackwall tunnel around 7am I was very worried reading the reply on here that it closes at 6am.

    I have emailed the helpdesk and they replied saying it closes at 6am.

    I then rang the helpdesk and the girl said there has been a lot of confusion about this and even the office wasn't sure. So she went off to check internally and came back and confirmed that it closes at 7.30am.

    So..I am going to go with the official information found on emails, magazines and now on the phone call and assume it closes at 7.30am.

    If I get there at 7am and it is shut then..well.. not sure. I guess it's ride over before its even started!

    So I got there and I went through the Blackwall tunnel, went down the Old Kent Rd to get there. It was all very easy but did mean I added more miles to my overall ride. I had to ride home too. I completed the 100 miles in 6 hours and 16 mins, not bad I think for the first time. I discovered when I went to change gears at the top of Leith Hill that I had been in my toughest gear going up it, idiot! But proud to say I took on all the hills and did not get off. Bloody aching now though. Hope everyone got there safely and had a good ride. Going to try sub 6 hours if I get a place next year.
