Plans have been flagged in the Surrey Mirror today to build 4,500 homes, roads and other infrastructure on the site of Redhill Aerodrome. Needless to say, this would cause all sorts of local issues (congestion, pollution, pressure on services etc) and add significant extra traffic onto the whole area around the Drome which constitutes many of the lanes and road we cycle on to go East.
So sooner has Adrian mentioned in his latest Update the ESCA reliability trial - an event described as "not for someone who follows their handlebar mounted satellite navigation system around a way-marked route on the day of the event" - than I receive a notification on another Garmin-free event on the same day (Sunday November 6th).
The information I have so far is:
On the morning of 18th Sept there will be road closures due to the Reigate Half Marathon. Roads affected are -
Lonesome lane
Meath Green Lane
Sandcross Lane
Slipshatch Road
Whitehall Lane
Clayhall Lane
Park Lane
and few others in the locality.

(only issue you can choose starting wave which are not grouped into times but instead 16-18yrs, women, with friends. so probably end up like L2B but might appeal to friends starting out into cycling - with one main climb at Wimbledon hill (although to a RCC club rider that's probably classed as small hump)
Prudential just released new event - so if not got into RideLondon 100 there is now a 46 mile event also finishes on Mall

Thought it might be an idea to start a new discussion thread to keep track of who has/hasn't been successful in this year's ballot.
I have secured a place (at the fourth time of asking).
Has anyone else heard yet?
Thos of who work in central London might be interested in this.

This might interest a few who enjoy hill climbing and self navigating. Justin might be doing it.

A traditional reliabilty ride run by the Old Portlians which Cycling Weekly once quoted as the real 'Hell of the Ashdown'. A great, 'Hard Riders', no frills event with two fantastic routes, 100km and 68km through Kent, taking in the Ashdown Forest
