L'Eroica Britannia

I pre-registered for this back in Oct 2013.
I gather that you could complete your registration (and pay) between Xmas and New Year. However when you try and pay now you get a message about a "problem with the payment gateway". It's been like this since the beginning of the year.
I've sent an email to the address provided - and you just get a message back saying there a "problem with the payment gateway"!!

If it's taken 16 days and counting so far to fix a website it doesn't fill me with confidence about the organisers ability to run a "full weekend event".

Has anyone actually managed to fully register and pay for this yet?

This is off their Facebook page:

"Final change of plan. We promise!

Pre-reg entries will open on the morning of Monday 20th January.

Everyone who pre-registered will be guaranteed their place based on the entire being made on-line between next Monday and February 3rd. After which entries will go on sale to the public."

Did anyone on here do this last year? If so are the routes the same for 2015? And would I be right in thinking the 100 miler is for extremely fit riders only? My mate is trying to convince me to do it but I'd favour the 55-mile route. I cycle every day (though only around 16-20 miles). I've done 70-80 miles a day for 4 days running before, on a £200 MTB with full panniers at that, so am not unfit, but 100 miles up, taking in some of those hills, looks pretty daunting....

Well you've got plenty of time to train for it and four days on a fully loaded clunker makes me think this will be within your range.

Oh, this thread is not about EROTICA Britannia - damn!

Ok, you've convinced me. If I die it's your fault though. Better get in training as soon as I've shaken this lurgy I suppose....my N+1 can't come soon enough....
