I’m in. And there’s a blue envelope on the table for my better half, I’m dying to open it but mustn’t. Are they sending out mags etc to applicants who don’t get in?

3 Dorking Cocks are in so far. That’s about a 50% success rate, quite a surprise, I’d put it at about 15% probability.

I’m in too

Yes. She didn’t get in.

With so many entrants it seems that the public have voted in favour of more cycling and more closed roads 😀

Ian Huggins (him of the anti-cycling petition) is no doubt frothing at the mouth…

Looks like Im going to be a spectator . One of my contractors is in, so he sent me a photo as proof of his confirmation.

that an offer? 🙂

Ha! I’ve asked for a place through my company’s charity, but I’m feeling pretty flouncey about the whole thing, to be honest.

Looking forward to hearing about Charlie’s 100 mile gravel thing, now.

Fail 🙁

I had an online conversation with this gentleman last year in which I told him I’d be entering in 2014 with the express intention of doing so just to swell the numbers and piss him off… 😆

Rejected Do they know who I am!

Well as they don’t appreciate my talents I will just watch you all ride past from my local pub wafting bacon rolls in your general direction

I am in on the ballot and in with GOSH – will take the ballot place and still raise the sponsor money anyway. It means GOSH have a spare charity place now.

Good work, I’ve got a pretty low target – £500, so I’d hope to get a good bit more than that.

A friend is having trouble getting into her old house to get post, and has used the link from this thread. She’s sent me a screen shot which says this: (“Registrant – Tpye – Edit” are table headings left to right across the page) No “Cancelled” anywhere. Does this look like she’s got in? I didn’t know you had to pay?

Hooray – another STWer* in!

*she asked me about bikes once, I asked on here, she joined up say thanks. Not sure if that counts!

How many females in your sample size, TiRed?

Edit: 7, right? with 4 in?

I’m in through the ballot but will be in France that weekend. Oh well.

7’s not a big number (5/8 now). Hardly conclusive, but it’s a good indication. I’d be surprised if thery weren’t skewing the registrations in favour of women.

A more balanced male/female split probably makes for a nicer atmosphere, too.

what does this mean?

There are VASTLY more men applying than woman. Hence to get some female representation (not the 3% or so of applicants) the organizers select male and female separately. I don’t have an issue with that, as you say, better atmosphere.

Ned, the sample size is 56 and there is an adjustment for gender which is significant. In fact it’s 4/7 vs. 9/49, which is more than enough to be different (P = 0.038 for an exact 2×2 chi squared)

So if you are female and didn’t get in, commiserations, you got tails. If you are male and did get in, you rolled a six!
