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.

Yes there will be another Lonely Hearts Club this year in some form or other.

I have to wait till end of Feb to book in, I'm on motorbike and don't need much space for parking. Hope there will be one spare ticket till that date

Missed a few years but will have a crack at it again this year

How many is "full"?

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

With the threat of entries filling up....me and the misses are in.

She was sold on tea and cakes! Now I know how to barter in the future

Thankfully managed to book the childminder for the little un for the bank holiday monday (better half is working) so i have a free pass and am in! Looking forward to it just need to sort the bike out now.

signed up, come on mart get your act together, boing boing have you signed up yet,

Don't know if i'll be able to handle all the suffering & death in the fields all around again, but i'm in....

Just hope we won't be called on to save a life again

I'm in again Jase. Must try to actually go for a ride before the WRT this year so I'm a bit fitter!

Good news!

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

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

Gents

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

Cheers

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 :)
