I think there are a few of us who have biked, or camped, or toured (properly loaded), but not really bikepacked before... So you won't be alone!

I have registered for BB 200, should I get some sort of confirmation?

No, your paypal receipt acts as confirmation, same goes for the WRT in case anyone's wondering.

Testing kit out in the next few weeks to ensure it fits on the bike and I haven't packed my entire house.
Looking forward to some wilderness!

OK, are the trails rideable (apart from the bogs) on a modern CX bike?

Rideable, but requiring more concentration than on a MTB and this might be a problem over such a distance and in the dark.

Entries for the sunniest WRT on record close on Tuesday night (Apr 30th) ... if you haven't entered yet but plan on doing so, pull your finger out ;)

Grid references will be going out on Wednesday, so stand by your computers!

The suspense of whether I will be there or not is killing me, my ex is deciding whether he will have the boys and knows I need an answer by tuesday . . . I guess he will let me know v last minute!

I have everything crossed!

What's the score if we dont know whether we can do two or three days? My delightful ex has said yes to the weekend but he's undecided about the monday :roll:

Can I be cheeky and ask for both sets of grid refs - just in case (although in reality I may just tag along with someone else) - nothing like being organised :-)

Due to a family holiday in the sun somehow being more important than bikepacking in Wales I won't be able to do this year's WRT :-(

Considering the BB200 though.

Have fun (& hopefully sunny weather)

Tomorrows email actually contains both sets of GR. I thought this situation might arise up so took the time and trouble to preempt it.*

*In reality I couldn't be arsed doing 2 emails, 1 took me long enough. ;)
