Yes, it's that time of year already. BB200 entries open in the morning, probably around 9.30ish.
On-line entry will be here:
http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/BB200/
Please remember - if you'd like a 2017 T shirt, order it at the same time as you enter as it makes my life much easier, ta.

Any chance of an amnesty for those of us on the YD300 tomorrow / Sunday?

You could ... but would you want one if you're not riding?

If everyone's in the Dales, I'm sure there won't be the usual rush for places

No entry for me this year unfortunately.
On the plus side I'll be experiencing very similar conditions (mainly the sleep deprivation and being covered in sh1t) by having a child the week before the event so I'll be with you all in spirit!

I'm keen. Hoping that there'll be spaces left after being deep in the wilds of Derbyshire all weekend and out of the reach of technology

I've avoided it so far.
But the tee shirt wins it for me.
Anyone fancy joining me on a 120 to 140km on day one with a night out under the stars/cloud/rain and a 60 to 80km tussock push in the next day?
I'm not racing and I ain't going to worry about any badges.

Good, 'cos it's not a race. Think of it as a personal challenge or perhaps a journey through the darkest corridors of your mind
May the bridges you burn light your way

Ok Gazaddy,
I'll start a lonely heart thread tomorrow (if I get in and if Stuart doesn't mind) for those for enough to do around 65 to 70% of the loop before a certain cut off fall into the pub/bivi down time on the Saturday.

It's the BB200 John, not the WRT. While you're welcome to ride as a pair or even a small group, every rider
must be prepared to ride individually, it's not a team event - sorry. However, feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
