I won't be sleeping on the campsite after this years terrible sleep. I'll be lending a friends camper van!
does anyone know what the limit is?
200 entered last year. (Or was it 250, and 200 showed up?)
I'm in, entry list 0.025% Jones content and falling :lol:! Assuming I can replace my long lost baby...anyone seen a Jones with a phil Wood front hub, loop bar and erikson s/post 😥
Anyone notice it's a high proportion of veterans too (me included)
There were lots of vets last year too.

many a tune & all that ...
I've only entered in the hope that Mike holds back in order to secure last place again 🙂
I'm going to 'let' someone else get DFL next year 😉
Oooo I want to do this.
I'm going to register tomorrow! 😉 (REALLY!!)
Over 50 entries already
This one is going to fill up really quickly I think
Now in. Oh yeh!! 😕
56! Blimey.
can anyone give me an idea of how this compares to Cristalp, just gives me an idea of hard/easy, etc and what to expect.

Did not do it last year but a friend found it harder than a solo @ sits this year and he did 23 laps,twas a write up in the mag there was a high
drop out rate
Entry no 70.
I've done 7 hrs around Kielder - can't see it being as hard as the Cristalp. How long did you take on that - I bet you hit the Pas de Loma carry at about 9-10hrs in? Got to be harder than Kielder!
and any idea of if there is a rider limit, i can't seem to find mention.
I think part of the difficulty was due to the conditions the week before. There were some sections that would have been nice, easy, spinny, flat link sections but were soul-destroying slogs of sogginess.
exactly mike, the thing is its always like that at kielder...especially if the loggers have been using the forest roads
Im in. Wasn't going to enter until the new year, but got scared I'd miss out looking at how quick it's filling up! Can't wait 'til september now!
I really want to do this but I can't plan that far ahead at the minute,I may have a lot of family commitments around Setember time, just hoping that it doesn't sell out too soon.
I'm in, now motivated to do do some long rides.
I am in too, never ridden that far but will focus the mind to train for it 🙂
woohoo, i'm in people. NOw its all train train train ( with a bit of resting, bit of xmas, possibly new bike and some summer hols in between)
108 entries now! Amazing.
I'm in,will be a real test.
I'm hoping for 2nd time lucky with the finishing. Impressive how fast it's filling up.
Im up for it again, might SS this time!
Just hope theres some space left when I get some spare cash!
ton's in............OMFG, what have i done....... 😯
Yay, go Ton!
Ton, briefly met you at the end of the Whinlatter Challenge - you were mumbling about sadists.........
This one's three times longer!
New bike needed I reckon
😉
Plenty of time to choose the right bike Ton see you in the Beer tent before and after.
Just entered. Dont know what im letting myself in for though!!

Miketually do you know if the entry is capped if so what number of entries?
No idea. There were 250 entries last year, I believe.
Where's the list of entrants?
Okay word is that there is no entry 'cap' so to speak. However having spoken to the organisers they are keen to make sure that the event doesn't go into over drive too quickly and they will be keeping a close eye on how the entry situation goes. They do have a figure in mind that they don't want to exceed this year at least. They promise to keep you posted.
They are overwhelmed with the response this soon and are delighted that so many of you want to take on their 'little ' race! It's gonna be a corker!
Thanks joolzed - will you be taking pictures there?
Yep me an Famous Dave will be there again:-)
Excellent I have a Gorrick one as my desktop 🙂
I can't wait for this, however I may of been a little premeture in my entry, as I will have a 4 month old child in september... my wife gave me an 'interesting' look when I said I'd entered!
Can I change my mind?

don't you dare..............i will keep you company 8)
I'm disappointed that the Kielder 100 is the weekend before this race:

Which I really want to do. I doubt racing a hundred miles woud be the best preparation...
Ton, I'll look forward to it
Gave in and entered!
Now what other races to do?
Rough count, 150ish already.
How many in my group 40+, 70ish, bet they are nearer 40 than me 😥
I'm sooooo in for this. Loved the event this year and can't wait to do it again! It's the only event that I've worn out the rear brake pads and chain & cassette - haven't even done that on SITS! It is a very long way though 🙂
I've entered. Its the week before the Isle of Man End2End but it should be fine to do both in two weekends.
who was a tail end charlie this year?
how did you find it?
thinking of volunteering.
I couldnt resist and have entered.
This was the first time I have had to tick the veteran 40+ box 😥
I'll feel more comfortable entering late summer 2011 events when I can tick that 40+ box.
I think I make 158 so far - fair number of familiar names from SSUK09.
Once again though the objective for me is to finish (possibly last again). On the plus side I get to pull out after one lap this time...
Edit - for whomever does volunteer to be a tail-end-Charlie, hello, you'll be riding with me for the first 55 miles I guess
igm - I expect to be towards the back end of the pack 🙂 I am another enter it to finish not for podium!!
oh well gone and done it now... how bad can it be.
how bad can it be
Only 60% of starters finished this year...
apart from 40% attrition, rain, wind, mud, midges, just how hard can it be 😉
Apart from those, I found it a 14 hour piece of piss.
😉
midges? No one told me about midges. I'm from the west of Scotland originally I have a fear of midges bordering on phobia. S'pose I'll have to out run them. Ran to the top of Ben Lomond and back once because of how bad the midges were in Rowardennan.
Mind you 60% finish would have been considered good at SSUK...
I've gone and done it too.......
Travelling from Somerset for this one
SS for me
I'm in again for 2010... looking forward to it already!!!
Will see you there JB! You got plans for any other longer events prior to this?!
Hey there Dicky, yes going to solo SITS again and thinking of Soloing Mayhem as well. Then there's The Dyfi and probably some of the Merida's too. What about you... big plans for next year??
I think so yeah. I reckon I'll be soloing SITS too so should see you there! Might consider mayhem although they're all a fair old drive away! I've just unearthed a turbo for a winter of fun........ Are you going to be doing any of the shorter course stuff? Whinlatter and Grizedale challenges were good this year.
Ah good man... Yes, will do the midlands XC series again. Will have a look at those also.
Hey you guys on facebook? drop me an email jbhome001@aol.com
Need to dash... Keep in touch mate.
JB
Right them, I'm in at last.
I entered the Northern rock cyclone as well*. It's easy signing up to rides sat in front of your PC. 204miles in 15minutes.
*Roadie Sportive, apparently it's considered rude not to enter if you ride in the club with the organiser 😉
is that right? over 400 so far?
