Stu, can you give a rough idea of the general location - south or north wales? Just trying to decide if I can drive down there in an evening before I commit (or try to commit....)
Direction won't matter Phil as start / finish (and obviously parking) is mid-Wales. Our postcode will give you a idea - SY19 7BH
Of course - I'm thinking of last year when it was start where you want on the route. Cheers, will throw my hat in the ring again.

How much wxtra are they pls and any details on materials etc
'Normal' cotton T shirt but I'd have to check with Dee exactly what model they are - she uses something different for the BB200 shirts. £15.

Not Llanbrynmair this year?
Are you lumping BB200 & 300 entries together in terms of numbers? I can’t decide to be sensible and opt for the 200 or have a go at the 300.

Yes Llanbrynmair Luke. I was just giving Phil the postcode at home so he had an idea.

Yep. There's 80 places and those proudly sporting a black badge get to decide whether they want 200 or 300 once they've secured a place.

I've always advised people to practice pushing, carrying and dragging their bike. The bits you can ride are easy. :lol:

I was almost tempted to enter but given the advice of “if you’re a softie have a word with yourself and let someone else have a go” (I paraphrase slightly) I decided against it. Hopefully I can ease myself into it gently with a winter event or something first and have a go in 22.

True, I did it in 2017, lugging a loaded bike across a bog is a lot more physical than the riding.

Obviously far too easy a ride if it sells out that quickly :grin:
