Entries for the seventh installment in the WRT saga are now live. Officially they'll remain open until March 31st although the plug may be pulled earlier depending on numbers. Grid refs will be going out on April 1st, so you'll have a full month to plan and re-plan your route
Entry is £20 which also gets you a T shirt, raffle entry and enough tea and cake to feed a small country. As ever all proceeds will be donated to the Wales Air Ambulance.

Bugger, the same weekend as my anniversary so I've been told, so the likelihood is very slim for me

Bring her with you, she'll have a great time. I believe Dave Barter's bring his mum and dad along as a special golden wedding anniversary surprise

Well, 24 hours in and we're around half full ... unless I can source additional parking, in which case there'd be room for a few more

Around 120. Everything is goverened by parking really, if I can secure extra parking, everyone shares cars or parks somewhere else and rides to the start then numbers could increase.

Hmmm, at the moment I don't fancy it again solo, if there is another Lonely Hearts Club I'd be up for it.
Anyone care to put their name forward, I would but my crap planning would make it a pretty awful trip.
Wait for me...
