I think there are a few of us who have biked, or camped, or toured (properly loaded), but not really bikepacked before... So you won't be alone!
Re: WRT & BB 200 Entries Now Open.
I have registered for BB 200, should I get some sort of confirmation?

No, your paypal receipt acts as confirmation, same goes for the WRT in case anyone's wondering.I have registered for BB 200, should I get some sort of confirmation?

Testing kit out in the next few weeks to ensure it fits on the bike and I haven't packed my entire house.
Looking forward to some wilderness!

I'm away for this years WRT - next year i'll make my return I promise.
But why can't I stop looking at and thinking about this years BB 200????
Please talk me out of it.
Is it doable on a CX?

OK, are the trails rideable (apart from the bogs) on a modern CX bike?Ian wrote:Depends on your definition of doableJohnClimber wrote:BB 200...Is it doable on a CX?

Rideable, but requiring more concentration than on a MTB and this might be a problem over such a distance and in the dark.
Re: WRT & BB 200 Entries Now Open.
WRT, entered! :-D
Just got to hope I get my frame bag in time :-$

Re: WRT & BB 200 Entries Now Open.
Looks like im going to be entering on Thursday which is payday. Im planning to enter the 2 night/3 day event, if i cant physically cope any longer, im fine to pretend i was taking part in the WRT lite arent i? 

Re: WRT & BB 200 Entries Now Open.
Well im in! Only for the lite as i need to be home to have my little lad bank holiday Monday! I am actually very excited but worrying over my kit list!!!
I know i have nothing to worry about as i am only out over night.

Re: WRT entries close Tuesday.
The suspense of whether I will be there or not is killing me, my ex is deciding whether he will have the boys and knows I need an answer by tuesday . . . I guess he will let me know v last minute!
I have everything crossed!

Re: WRT entries close Tuesday.
What's the score if we dont know whether we can do two or three days? My delightful ex has said yes to the weekend but he's undecided about the monday
Can I be cheeky and ask for both sets of grid refs - just in case (although in reality I may just tag along with someone else) - nothing like being organised

Re: WRT entries close Tuesday.
Due to a family holiday in the sun somehow being more important than bikepacking in Wales I won't be able to do this year's WRT 
Considering the BB200 though.
Have fun (& hopefully sunny weather)

Re: WRT entries close Tuesday.
Tomorrows email actually contains both sets of GR. I thought this situation might arise up so took the time and trouble to preempt it.*Can I be cheeky and ask for both sets of grid refs - just in case (although in reality I may just tag along with someone else) - nothing like being organised
*In reality I couldn't be arsed doing 2 emails, 1 took me long enough.
