Yes, it's that time of year already. BB200 entries open in the morning, probably around 9.30ish.

On-line entry will be here: http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/BB200/

Please remember - if you'd like a 2017 T shirt, order it at the same time as you enter as it makes my life much easier, ta.

Any chance of an amnesty for those of us on the YD300 tomorrow / Sunday?

No go for me this year - prior engagement or (depends on what Stu's evil mind has dreamt up!)

annoyingly there is an adventure race on that weekend.

would it be possible to buy a t-shirt in medium?

You could ... but would you want one if you're not riding?

If everyone's in the Dales, I'm sure there won't be the usual rush for places

No entry for me this year unfortunately.

On the plus side I'll be experiencing very similar conditions (mainly the sleep deprivation and being covered in sh1t) by having a child the week before the event so I'll be with you all in spirit!

I'm sitting here waiting to enter.

Well bugger me I can actually enter this year as nothing silly happening that weekend (apart from the BB200 that is).

This year not turned out as planned but off this weekend so may give it a go....gulp...

I'm keen. Hoping that there'll be spaces left after being deep in the wilds of Derbyshire all weekend and out of the reach of technology

Bugger. I have to enter now to get that t-shirt

I've avoided it so far.
But the tee shirt wins it for me.

Anyone fancy joining me on a 120 to 140km on day one with a night out under the stars/cloud/rain and a 60 to 80km tussock push in the next day?

I'm not racing and I ain't going to worry about any badges.

Good, 'cos it's not a race. Think of it as a personal challenge or perhaps a journey through the darkest corridors of your mind

I'll happily join you , gives me someone to tag along with regarding I'm not that brill with navigation so will be a learning curve so to speak

Ok Gazaddy,
I'll start a lonely heart thread tomorrow (if I get in and if Stuart doesn't mind) for those for enough to do around 65 to 70% of the loop before a certain cut off fall into the pub/bivi down time on the Saturday.

It's the BB200 John, not the WRT. While you're welcome to ride as a pair or even a small group, every rider must be prepared to ride individually, it's not a team event - sorry. However, feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Fully understood,

Currently laying in a hospital bed in Southport awaiting my head to be tested . . . May explain why I'm actually contemplating entering

Entries not open yet?
