Interested to hear from others that have ridden before what's the score with non-registered riders on previous editions?
Exact same situation as yourself. Hotel booked, planning on going regardless.
Did it last year and honestly don't think it'll be a big deal if you're not registered. You can even set off with the group.
However, you won't get an official time card to be stamped when arriving and leaving at the food stops. So you'll have to keep a track of your own riding time.
Also it'd be poor form to eat food you've not payed for so you'd probably want to make other arrangements for your rest stop/eating (probably nearby bistro or cafe)
And you won't get a prize (bottle of wine and a weird cake) no big deal, I left mine as a present for the apartment owners.

It'll be amazing either way.
