And don't panic about LEL places if you don't get one in this first batch. Come January 2017, there will be plenty of places as @Greenbank says.
My guess would be that 25%-30% of the 300 registering today won't be on the start line. Very easy to commit nearly two years in advance, especially if you are still feeling good and strong from summer riding.
I suspect that unless things go truly crazy, everyone that really wants to ride will be able to get a place.
