Is that progress?

just keep refreshing - I'm sure that'll help the servers at the other end 

[TomAplomb]

The whole website is really struggling.

Though at exactly 11am, the register page did update and I was able to enter my homologation number (but yeah I then got the database connection error...).

same ... now everything's dead - sweet !

[Deano]

I'll try again later. Don't take all the good spots, you lot, if you do manage to get in!

Pretty sure you can change your start time in the coming months as there will be many spaces vacated by people dropping out.

The good thing is that every time you hit the database error you can just refresh the page and continue from there (instead of having to start all over from logging in). Another good news: it did find my LEL homologation number 

[fullgas]

Same here - found my homologation number, looked promising, crashed, still crashed...

[JonBuoy]

I like the way that it randomly stutters into life to tease you then goes 'NOPE' 

[JonBuoy]

Done.

1800 start in the 90 hour group.

All fairly straightforward once I got in there.  Only minor glitch was when I forgot to select my club.

Back to icing my knee

How do you know if it's worked?!
It took me to Paypal page, I paid and it takes you back to registration page.
But I haven't had an email except for the PayPal receipt.

Exactly the same for me, missed the club tick box for a little while, then also selected 1800 start.

Back to cleaning the kitchen 

[GPS]

yup - I'm in at last !

to check I'd actually got in I had to try and register again, at which point it told me I'd already entered .... they've got my payment from PayPal too,so I guess I'll have to leave it there and wait for an email !

[zacklaws]

I got logged in about 4 times, each time I responded to the page displayed, lost connection, then when I reconnected again, I would be a stage further down the process and then eventually made my payment. So basically, even if you lose connection, the cogs are still working to what you last submitted.

But, my LEL homolumigation ( I know its spelt wrong, brain fog from catching covid) number would not work and still does not show up in the results page as it was supposed to do so we was informed in another posting, luckily I had a "1000" from earlier in the year.

Confirmation Email for payment received,

So I am in, 18:15, same time as my two earlier PBP's so I don't have to replan my timings so much, and will be my 3rd and last time.

[Andy Corless]

Anyone kindly post a link to the registration page?

registration link

I'm starting at 17:15 

Now waiting for my vélo special to be build and delivered...

[JonBuoy]

384 places gone in the first hour.

[Andy Corless]

Thanks for adding the link - I "think" I've registered ...

5th and probably last time ...

Andy Corless

[P.P.]

Well that was simple enough, 90 hour group with 18:00 start time. No site crashes or glitches, just straight through, so I guess my lackadaisical approach gave enough time for all you well organised types to fully test the system.

[TomAplomb]

It looks like me and Dad managed to get a spot in the 1730 group. We got the paypal email receipt but not official confirmation from PBP - I assume that's the same for everyone else?

[αdαmsκι]

Tried at 11am without success but got on just before noon and now signed up into the final 80 hr group. (I f**king hated the A start in 2019; hopefully it'll be a lot calmer at the back of the vedettes rather than the front!)

I assume that's the same for everyone else?

Same for me and others I've been in touch with.

To confirm you have managed to enter if your in doubt, just try rentering again with the same details and eventually just before the payment step, it will tell you that you have registered.

[Zed43]

Just (45 minutes after completing the registration) got the email confirmation from ACP.

[edit] and two more emails, one of them saying "Amount remaining to be paid: 50€" while paypal shows I paid...
