Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I signed up for mcr but haven't ridden other than to & from shops for ages. Might graze the route locally on a short loop and then bask in the glory of such an epic achievement forever.

I signed up for the Birmingham one a few weeks ago. Suspect they've reached capacity and so closed registration - which is odd as it's not like its a group ride - they will just email a gpx and off you go in your own time. I'll see what comes through on email and share the route on here if that helps.

I signed up for the Leeds one, not really sure what to expect.

@Robinho is correct, basically at capacity across the board. You say that it's not a group ride and you go in your own time. But it'll be over a thousand people setting off roughly the same morning doing the same route... Should be able to get an update soon, but I think it might be limited to existing sign ups now. Obviously once the route is shared there's not much policing that can be done to stop people sharing or joining the route.
