Who's in?  I, for one, am riding.  I'm looking forward to it very much after having ridden a DIYxGPS 200 based on it yesterday.  I'd forgotten what a good ride it is.
The present is a foreign country: they do things differently here.

I've entered too. My last attempt of this lovely ride in 2019 saw me abandoning in darkest Wychwood Forest having suffered my fourth puncture.  :( So heed Phi''s warnings about the state of the roads and preparedness! Martin

Always a treat - especially in the years when Phil organises fireworks for the final run in.

I am in too.  First calendar Audax for me since lockdowns started.  That's what I said when I entered this last year, only for it to be cancelled by changing rules, so fingers crossed this time.  Will probably ride to the start from Basingstoke unless frost is forecast.
