We're actually taking 950 entries now.

There are about 200 places left. I suspect that these will sell out before Saturday evening.

I don't understand. I put 140 pages of discouragement in....

He did. I even paid for a copy of the discouragement. Rain, hills, more rain!

BTW this Yad Moss thing, I will get up it in 39/25 won't I?

I am not taking any chances I ordered a triple chainset after reading Andy's book

I am taking even less of a risk and am having a bespoke bike built with Triple chainset and disc brakes to winch me up and slow me down.

You could always walk with me

Not me, Steve. I could do it, I'm reasonably confident of that- just lack the inclination.

It occurred to me that I'm going to need to man up on hills as I don't have a triple or even a compact crankset!

 

[mcshroom]

Oops.

Good luck all of you who entered. Lying in this morning was a bad idea. Oh well, I'm going to try and help at one of the controls (probably Brampton/Eskdalemuir) so hopefully I'll see you all there.

Are you on a reserve list or are you not too fussed?

Desperately trying to enter- Web page says 'try again in a few hours' -- Will there be more places or is it now definitely full ? Thank you

Says on YACF forum they are sold out. Also states that there is no reserve list currently as they are already over subscribed by a couple of hundred.
