Took Stu's advice and waited till this morning to enter 100, looking at responce so far looks like I should have done it at midnight
Sorry Malc.

Looks like my cunning plan I mentioned last night may have to be called into play.

All in good time. Probably easiest if I post the entry list up on the website.

Don't panic ... the addition of the 'cunning plan' should mean that everyone registered today gets a ride*

*obviously I could be wrong as I've no idea how many more have registered since 10.30 but I'm generally an optimist and usually things sort themselves out quite nicely after a little behind the scenes fiddling.

EDIT: posted after Ians last post.

The Two Ton is now at 40 entrants, so we're onto reserve list for this now.

There's still 13 places left on the Wildcat 100, which'll bring the total for that to 80.

Once the event has been done, will the gpx be available to all? I'm unable to take part in the organised start, but would like to do the 200 as a multi day ride in the summer!

Haha my drunkish iPhone typing stitched up my name. As a typo it's quite amusing; substituted one body part for another. :?

Paul - I have you down for the 100 already, no problem.

We now have 80 for the Wildcat 100 and 41 for the Bear Bones Two Ton 'O Gravel.

The latter was only going to be 40, but I made an exception for a certain World Record Holder and Tour Divide winner. Naturally, and in the interests of equality, I would extend such a gesture to anyone else able to match those credentials ;)
