In addition Scotrail tickets are not availble yet for their services on 20 April. EDIT: after ~1 year of no bike resv. being possible through their site, it seems today its been re-enabled.

So bike reservations have not been missing for a year, unless they have on Scotrails own routes.

Hmm. I'm angling for a team, but my track record suggests I'm better with a London start ...(Probably gears, but that assumes I've got a working bike at all, which on current form isn't guaranteed.)
'First timer' here, too, but pleased to have ancien guidance within our 'Wednesday Pub-ride' team.I entered using paypal in January, sending £15, which I'm certain is for the whole team.You then have to get each team member to let you have a hard copy or signed pdf of their Easter Arrow entry sheet.http://www.aukweb.net/events/enter/19-EARO/Instructions:Log in, then'Enter this event' and, in "By Post" click 'Entry Form' and print the pdf, sign it.Team leader assembles those and gets a team entry form (Page 3 of)http://www.aukweb.net/_resources/files/events/Easter_Arrow_2019_rules_and_entry_form.pdfFill that in and post it all off (?Large letter' stamp) with SAEs as specified.See you in York around 8 o'clock Easter Saturday!
Some silly first-time questions....Is the entry fee per team, or per person?Can I/we pay and enter via paypal and then send the rest of the entry forms via post?
I have just paid by paypal and have three team members who are not AUK members what do I do?steve
Three questions on the arrow.1) Presumably receipts are needed to prove start location but is the ride start time the declared time or the receipt time? As I imagine buying some form of breakfast and eating before starting.We meet for a coffee, then get an Atm ticket as we leave at the nominated time.2) do we have to declare the exact control location or just name the town?If it's a small town and/or you are passing through in a relatively straight line just name the town. Otherwise more detail.3)how is the official distance between controls calculated? Is it Google maps walking? Between named towns or receipt address?
Pretty much everyone rides extra k's to make it pretty.
I sent our entry in a couple of weeks ago... any ideas when brevet cards usually arrive?
