You would make the 32nd of the full 36 we need... So if you're interested, better add you're details ASAP

When do we get our numbers? If possible I would like 469, stay with my name theme

Never going to happen... That would require 16 teams, and frankly, it's tough enough to run this challenge with 4 teams of 9 riders.

As to when the dossards are issued.... Let's try and get 4 teams first shall we?

Already not going to plan this one.

Heads up, I'm now scuppered 9th, 10th as I've been dragged into being a +1 at a wedding up North, shoulders knackered anyway from last weekends crash so need a few days off the bike to let it heal.

Was scuppered for the 13th-15th as I'm away for my birthday.

I should get some decent riding in on the other days though cross fingers.

Absolutely... #333, you're in the machine... there's no going back now !

THREE MORE PLACES FOLKS, WHEN THEY'VE GONE THATS YOUR LOT...

Too late, too late will be the cry when the man with the Dossards has passed you by. If you don't sign up now, you'll be crying tears as big as October cabbages.

(1 internet point for the source of that mis-quote )
