I'm up for this one. I haven't finished a 200 since, er... March so God knows what'll happen.

This.

Yours faithfully

I've entered too - though I'll have been up since about 4 am on the day of the ride cos I've got to drop Mrs N off at Heathrow that morning. I'll be pootling along tiredly at the back and not looking forward to a 2 hour drive home afterwards.

This.

Quite specifically about 25/30 mins after Ciren. Then again about 15 mins out of Chipping ! Happy days!

You'll probably be cycling with me then Chris

Excellent. Will be a push ups race.

Route checking done today - quite early but I won't be able to do it over the next couple of weeks.

There are no changes to the route from last year and only a couple of minor changes to the routesheet. I can confirm that the parking at the Park and Ride is free.

I can also confirm that although the hills have not got any smaller (and felt bigger) the Poor Student is a lovely route even when the weather isn't great.

A quick count of the paper entries and the paypal notifications in my inbox shows over 35 entries so there should be a good field.

I PayPal entered last night. Did the ride three times last season. Love it.

No chance Chris, I've just entered. (Thanks Dave.)

sorry for being a dimwit, but once I've paid via Paypal, do I then have to send the dreaded form?

Ignore this question I am a dimwit coz I've now re-read the form

kcass · « **Reply #36 on:** 13 December, 2009, 03:20:15 pm »

Only if you want the route sheet sent to you rather than downloading it.

You will NOT need to
snail-mail this form
unless you want paperwork back.

online or by email)

... but I'm assuming perm-on-the-day riders have to use snail-mail?

Then I will be the one behind you both on the hills (sans trike).

Yes, that is the case. I don't have paypal entry set up for the perm (and don't know if it's even possible).

I've not done an audax since July, but it would be rude not to do the Poor Student with it starting in Oxford...

yay! Just entered for Emma and myself.
Online entry makes this so easy. Now have 4 rides booked up for various points in next few months. Last year we only ever thought forward as far as the next one.

duncan · « **Reply #42 on:** 13 December, 2009, 05:41:59 pm »

I'm now entered. The paypal entry system is fantastic

The Brompton is very grimy indeed, I must clean it more often.

Entry done, and more importantly, domestic permission obtained.

LEE · « **Reply #44 on:** 15 December, 2009, 03:02:57 pm »

I entered but actual participation is ice-dependent.

Hey, you and me again LEE. Hopefully we'll see more of each other this time.

I'll be at the start on time and using Schwalbe Marathons so chances are good we will.

7 Punctures all year (8700km) and 3 of those on the Audax last week in the space of about 70km!!

kcass · « **Reply #47 on:** 16 December, 2009, 01:44:16 pm »

I've entered. Booked on the 5.50 from Paddington so will probably have to cycle round the park & ride for half an hour until the start to keep warm.

LEE · « **Reply #48 on:** 29 December, 2009, 07:18:32 pm »

I've lost track of this, did anything get sent out yet(email or post?)

No, that's my job for this week. There aren't any changes to the route and only tweaks to the routesheet though, so last year's GPS track is still valid. (On my website, link to the left.)

Can I remind people that late entries are by arrangement only - email to check that I have enough brevet cards left.
