Nope... I'll bet you it's sold out. Same probably happen with the Bb200 but only faster this year. Is the record 15 mins...

The WRT doesn't usually have a 'sold out' limit so it must be a glitch.
I.e. numbers aren't usually restricted

Sigh. Mrs Perrin booked a week away in anticipation of lockdown lifting, so with heavy heart Reg is out this time. I shall have to go into therapy or something now to recover.

That's just rubbish Reg. Sorry... to equalise the balance though, I'm not a WRT sort but I'll enter to take your place. Don't let it happen again please...

Enjoy folks. All being well, that weekend I will be lying on my couch eating vast quantities of food and not want to go near a bike for at least a fortnight. :grin:

After much deliberating, we decided to try and get it in as early as was practical.

Arse, that Monday is half term, we're off to Sherwood Pines for the week. I'll have to console myself by having a beer in the hot tub...

As long as it doesn't interfere with my second jab (which is likely to be somewhere around that time), I'm in.

Unusually (and sadly), I'll be travelling up on the day though. Not particularly comfortable with B&Bs, bunkhouses etc yet.
