Entry opens Jan 8th, as does that for the Etape du Dales.

Anyone fancy it this year?

Arthur, I'm keen to do both this year - doing a sub eight hour ride for the Etape Du Dales is my main target for this year. Trouble is, these things are so popular now I think it will be extremely difficult to get a place.

I'm also, doing the White Rose Classic which is available for entry now, if you're quick you'd probably get a place on that.

Good point. Entry in the post for the White Rose now.

The Etape Du Dales started taking bookings on Saturday...3 days earlier than advertised. Gill and I got entry numbers around 90 on Sat morning. I heard by this afternoon they were up to 320 so any remaining places (they're only accepting 650) may well disappear quick. Entry is online though and only takes 2 or 3 minutes.

Having been trying to enter since 7.00 am no joy !

Is there a link ?

However, they've now disabled the link at put the comment:

'Entry Form - available 8th Jan (Please note we have accepted a small number of entries already for testing purposes. We will open entries on Mon 8th Jan)'

I think they realised they'd made a mistake in making the site live on Saturday! For 'small number' read '400+'

Ah, the joys of technology

They can consider their system well and truely tested!

Does that mean its full what are farce!!!!!

I've tried sending you a mail with a link to try...have you got it? What's you're email?

Does that mean its full what are farce!!!!!

Don't think it's full, just that they put it live too soon. They don't seem to have re-opened it yet, so I'd just keep an eye one the site.

Thanks for your tip but it is FULL ! still cant believe the organiser trying the website out on Saturday and oops 500+ trials later there is no room at the inn!!!!!

That is a little unfortunate to say the least.
