Are both weekends now sold?

If so can I start the reserve list?
As Bob rightly says, still some spaces on both weekends as I type.

No reserve list this year.

My titilation at getting an October entry lasted 20 mins, before being reminded my wife is away cycling with friends in Holland #-O
Can my entry be bumped to the bonfire night weekend please Stu?

Despite leaving myself a big F.O. note next to the computer, I completely forgot about it. Nevermind, still got in for October with plenty to spare. Very civilised bunch this year. Or are we expecting something 2014-esque this year?

No unless you like kicking yourself in the nuts regularly. Why not do the 200 but try to grab the middle badge so at a slightly (figuratively speaking) more relaxed pace. I'll be aiming for the blue or green. Not sure which but am gonna definitely train for it...

Fancy getting together for a really long 80 miler some time soon Andy... I might not be able to keep up but will try...

Given the weather and the gravel bike friendly route last year, I'm expecting the worst.

Given how you smashed the HT550, I'd have thought so... 🤣

Irony is that it's a "hospitality industry" event, so that shower in government would definitely approve.

Not this year Steve. We never actually sell that many and it's just another additional job for Dee.

So is there an approved "pre-staging area"? I don't fancy driving up at 5am, nor do I really fancy a nearby travel lodge.

Losing The Star still sucks. :(

Penrhos Arms in Cemmaes was very welcoming last year. I'll probably go there again.

Stu, have you kept a spot back for Steve Large? I suspect he won't have thought about the BB.
