Entered quite a while ago, don't you know, and it's a damn fine day out for young and old, and all points in between !
I’ve decided I’m not old. I’m 25 .....plus shipping and handling.

I'm in, but after my bravado and subsequent DNF on the last one, I'm keeping a low profile.

I've entered, but illness in January kept me off the bike, hoping that 4 weeks proper riding will be enough to get me around! It'll be my first 200 since a baby arrived so I reserve the right to dns without guilt should the next lot of teething coincide with the lead up to this ;)

Last call for any undecided.

Field size is rapidly reaching it's upper limit, so event might well be closed early

Confirmation to the latest group entries will be sent out later.

Bloody hell, nearly full! Ah well, at least that give an additional two weeks to contract a virus in order to declare DNS.

I know, but I've barely done any riding since October and was only allowing a month to build up to this. I'm unbelievably pathetic since having a baby...

I did my toughest riding after giving birth (well not me personally, but I had a hand in it)

I'm fat and unfit. You can keep me company. I'm grumpier than I used to be too.

Yes the weather was lovely last year, I remember sitting outside the Dean Heritage centre and thinking this is pretty warm.

just checked the forecast see below (from the met office)

UK Outlook for Sunday 6 Mar 2016 to Sunday 20 Mar 2016:
On the whole, cold and changeable conditions look to dominate through the period. Spells of wet and windy weather are likely as frontal systems push in from the Atlantic, but there should also be periods of more settled, crisp and bright conditions in-between. There will be some sleet or snow at times, either from showers in the colder outbreaks or due to frontal systems running into cold air. Temperatures will generally be below average, with widespread overnight frosts likely.
