I’ve just been trying to search if we have to book to go get our race numbers at the expo again like last year(I’d had my mtb about a month, did the short ride) and the booking thing is still on 2022.. but no communication to suggest we don’t have to book a slot this year.? 
 

 

The booking time slots waas for covid protocols to try and keep the numbers under control at the expo

There was a ton of people there at my time slot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Has anyone received any comms about number collection etc?

No QR codes received as yet, zero comms about dates etc.

This year just seems to be very disorganized.

Not sure if this is allowed on the platform so happy if not posted

 

2 of us just decided we are ready to tackle this for the first time and would like to see if there are any persons on the platform that are not able to participate and would go through the process of substitution as per the website requirements

Looks like Frosty do have a privileged account with the organisers for him to receive his details before most of us on here 😁

 Maybe it's because I've done 20 🤣

 

Seriously, it's on the WhatsApp with your race number (received on 19 October).
Didn't get it? The email with your start time mentioned this:

To be honest I would prefer the rain to keep the temps down.

100% happy with some clouds and rain fall on the day.. I’m riding late morning/midday.. hopefully next year can get a better start time if I work hard enough🥳🤘🏻🤣🤣

Pretty much sums it up

Personally I'd much rather not be riding down the M1 in a bunch at pace in a rainstorm if I have a choice...

yeah look if its wet I also wont be in a bunch doing 60 down the M1. I'll rather just take it easy, have a safe enjoyable ride.
