I'm looking to get sell my w200 entry if anyone is interested? Illness has prevented me from getting any training in over the past couple of weeks. Let me know if anyone is interested

I missed the online registration.

I only have enough training to do 100km in this years event and I am thinking of just turning up on the day and doing my 100km sans registration.
(the organisers are adamant that no one will be permitted to register to ride on the day).

I'll think about your offer.

Also looking for an entry for the 200.

(just wondering if you buy the entry from someone do you have to ride under their name? or can it be transferred)

You have to ride under their name. It's best to get a copy of their signature and practice so you can satisfy autograph requests on the day.

Can the details not be changed whe registering in the morning? if not anyone taking someone elses entry should make sure they put the correct info on the back of their number In Case of Emergency.

Found the entry on the W200 forum with instructions on how to get your name on the entry

That's why they say that it's non-transferable - or one of the reasons anyway.

Unless you are part of the organisation team of the event and trying to balance accounts, i don't see why you would scratch you head on such matters.:)

If anyone has a moment, I'm seeking some sartorial advice for the big day.

The weather from last night seemed to be indicating a northerly wind for the day. That wasn't the plan! What happened to a nice south/south westerly tailwind to carry tired bodies home?

That's definitely not the plan!! That's exactly what happened last year... and the last stretch from Rathdrum back into the wind was one of the low points of my year. Seem to remember lots of folk on here felt similarly too. Can only hope it swings around.

Ooh, nice find. Although I always saw the jersey as slight less aqua marine in my head.

Only Krabbé could get away with those shorts.

Chips Lovell

Krabbe is still racing. I read a blog by a guy based in the Netherlands who says he regularly shows up at local races.

Registration starts at 6am, though the Donard stop opens at 9.30am so if you are too quick you'll end up waiting there until it opens.

Forecast for Greystones, Blessington and Arklow all have some rain, so it looks like jackets, overshoes and mudguards will be needed.

I assume we're all just going to pretend that this isn't happening?
