I'm in. I love this event and book out the weekend as soon as dates are known. I might try and get a weight of under 40lb this year, which I plan to achieve by cutting back on the copious amounts of cheese I pack. :grin:

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.
I'm about to enter and will be cycling to and from the event so no parking needed for me :-)

Is there any point planning a route, or just turn up and let Taylor lead the way??

Miffed I can't do the WRT this year :cry:

But the reason I can't do it is because I'm bikepacking about 1,150km across Spain from Alicante to Santiago de Compostela :grin:

Gents

Has anyone got a GPX they could share up from last year just to get an idea of previous routes etc.

Happy to send you a copy of our 140 mile all points reached international route from last year, it was a great ride too, but because I'm fairly sure Stu won't be sending us in the same direction it won't be much use this year :)
