Yes

I can't pay online via paypal.

The paypal registration link is using 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com' and the bottom of the paypal site says 'Test Site'.

Did somebody forget to move from the testing PayPal server to production before going live?

mea culpa Quozl apologies - we just set up a new website last week and I forgot to move the payments section out of the sandbox. They should be working properly now. Apologies to anyone who was trying to pay online over the past couple of days, no payment has been taken from your credit cards.

No worries - I figured I'd let you know so that you could fix it I'll go sign up now, thanks a lot.

I'll probably be getting the DART to Bray for this.
The first Sunday service that I can see is due in Bray for 9:36 - assuming it's on time

I'll be cutting it kind of tight for the 9:45 sign-up. I've paid online but I'll need to get CI 1-day membership on the day.

If I'm there by 9:50 or even 9:55, should that be OK - I wouldn't mind missing the start as long as I can still register. Sorry about the potential hassle, hopefully the DART will be on time and I'll find the Bray Wheelers club house before 9:45.

Should be okay - head straight from the dart for the main street - left onto main st. At the old townhall/mcdonalds veer right follow road for 1/2 km until you see a modern church in front of you on left - at crossroads and traffic lights - turn left just before church - turn right and clubhouse is at the end of the station road. There is a google map on the website

Remember to take time to enjoy the scenery in Wicklow. Great views from the Moneystown climb and also from the Shay Elliott. There are some fast descents on the routes especially the Shay Elliott and The Old Long Hill - so take extra care here.
Forecast seems OK for Sunday.
