  • Homepage says 160 registrations but only 100 spots. So they'll be reviewing the applications.

    If anyone is hot on black forest/Vosges/Jura, there is a superrandoneée called Belchen satt.

    On the Germany is boring, think that's a bit unfair if you only zoomed from Belgium through the flatlands to the Alps.
    Black forest definitely is fun and the other Mittelgebirge I know are also ok.

    Given they sold out pretty quick last year its surprising they say they didn't expect it!
    It's not hard to get a proper entry system set up rather than relying on Google forms. It's charming that their setup is really basic but it would save them a bunch of work sorting through 160 applications and managing it all manually. Something like RiderHQ will do the payments and manage waiting lists, and doesn't cost that much.

  • If they're limited to 100 though, maybe the cost/benefit isn't worth it.

    Easy enough to ignore last 60 entries. Maybe they'll run it a few times, get sick of the admin and try to bump numbers, implement entry system.

  • Last year they were sold out in 6 days. While that is pretty quick it is quite different when 160 people apply in the first 4 hours. :) So I can imagine they didn't expect it to be thàt popular.
    And they run a pretty basic organisation so I think they don't want to set up extra systems for automation.
