Well after melting the server, it took only 24 minutes to sell out. Given that most people were a little panicky and concentrating on securing an entry, should you wish to go back and order yourself a T shirt, then feel free at some point.

Out of interest, what was the deal with the "page not found" error?

Could you not get it uploaded? :shock:

Edit - Ahh, saw it in the other thread. lol

Not sure if I’m in. Cath was entering for me as I’m away. She got to the PayPal page but I don’t think she got the confirmation email.

Might have to go on the reserve list :grin:

Bob... if Cath is in but you're not then I'm happy to give my ticket (at 500% inflation obviously*) and go on the reserve list... Reducing the carbon footprint and all that stuff :smile:

* just kidding about the inlfation and I'm sure a reserve place will come up soon enough...

:grin: he'll have got a ticket I suppose. I thought about it afterwards that Cath would have put 2 tickets in the basket and not one at a time...

Dyffers is sorting me some super cheap hubs anyway and the m1700 rims can be rebuilt into them. New bike day :smile:

Neither of us have tickets - I don't think you can select more than one at once.

No problem, I'll sit on the reserves bench :grin:

Oh dear... can I split my ticket between the two of you Bob :grin:

Sorry you didn't get in but AFAIK you can select 2 tickets in one go... 2 will be round the corner just waiting to be nabbed

If there hadn't been server problems it would likely have sold out in 2.4 minutes!
