Ultracycling

Do a qualifying ride (think this is still a requirement, one of the ITT group starts or possibly just an ITT covers it...). Entries open on the 28th November, figure out the resupply points, then all you need to do is turn up on the day and be prepared for a lot of pushing!

There's no qualification mechanism, just register when the registration opens and hopeyou're quick enough to get a place. The organiser limits the ride to 40 starters for the main event but will take around 60-80 entrants and run a waiting list based on expected drop outs.

Alternatively, just download the route, go and ride it and submit your results (GPS and/or spot tracker log needed). You'll be credited with your ride in the same year as you've ridden it, just the same as any of those starting in the mass event.
