BB200 - entered!

At the start of the year I decided to commit to more 'things' this year in order to aid motivation and so - whallop - the BB200 entry is done.

Let's see if the thought of losing £25 isn't incentive enough to get my arse in gear!

See you there.....

[sillybigfella]

WRT entered, got access to the car this year, yeeha :D .

[restlessshawn]

Nice one Ray!

Not sure if herself is coming to Wales with me this year or not but if not maybe we can carshare in one or other of our cars? Will liase nearer the time.

[Ray Young]

Hi Restless, not sure but the wife might be coming with me, she might be going to stay with friends close by. As you say i'll know closer to the time. Up for keeping you company on the ride though if that's OK.

[restlessshawn]

I'm a bit worried you might be too fit for me! But yeah let's have a chat nearer.

[Ray Young]

I'm not fast and am happy to go with the flow and enjoy the scenery :D .

[FLV]

BB200 in. Excellent!

[markenduro]

Entered, it will be motivation to get my arse back into shape, far far too much sitting around lately looking out of the window, did a 38 miler today around the south end of the peaks (staffs/Derbys border out the back of Ilam) and it about killed me.

[Ray Young]

Stu, what OS 1:50,000 will I need?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Stu, what OS 1:50,000 will I need?

Sorry Ray, you'll have to wait until May 1st to find out.

[Ray Young]

Doh! And I wanted an excuse to buy some new maps right this minute, bugger.

[barney]

we've got unfinished business after our fiasco last year...

<holds head in shame> last year we checked into a pub for the 2nd night

family commitments mean I can't do many events this year but I've promised myself I'm going to enter BB200 and use it to motivate myself to get fit during the year.

[johnnystorm]

I'm in on both. Gulp. :?

[Mart]

WRT - I'm in (first one for me, gulp)

[Taylor]

you'll be 'reet.

[mountainbaker]

BB200, first timer.

[Ray Young]

Stu, will the local campsite be doing the deal it did last year for the WRT, ie, stay Fri/Mon night and leave your car/tent Sat/Sun for free.
Also, is anyone else intending to stay on the campsite either night and do you want to go to the pub?

Restlessnative, still up to ride with you but the wife is coming down in the car. Travelling Friday and dropping her at Bristol railway station then heading back to Mid Wales.

Deepest mid Wales ... the nearest place (sadly everyone now knows) is Machynlleth. Postcode for the start is SY19 7BH if that helps.
