Joining a Sportive mid ride (Ride 100 2016)

Hi,
So i suspect this will generate some mixed responses......
I have been fortunate enough to get a place in the Ride 100 in 2013,2015 & 2016 through the ballot. No idea how i have managed it but luck of the draw i suppose.
As we all know logistics for the ride 100 if you don't happen to live either in Stratford or on the mall are a bit of a nightmare.
My sister lives in the city and i am toying with the idea of staying over and just starting the ride from there. I appreciate this is not in the spirit of the ride, but strictly speaking is there anything wrong with this? as I have a place so from medical point will have the numbers and next of kin info etc.
Before someone suggests it, yes i completely agree that i could just man up and get up very early and cycle to Stratford or the alternative being is just to withdraw and therefore deny a place in the ballot for someone in 2017.
