    Anyone know what a solo entry costs, roughly? (I’m getting a 404 on their ‘Pricing’ page.)

    about £1200 i believe – might be dollars, but it’s a lot.

    works for me

    Details below reflect a per-person price, regardless of what category you ride in.

    Came through on the credit card at about £1300 Stirling.

    Without food package.

    Expensive but still demonstrates value.

    I started a thread on it last week.

    Just do it. You will never regret it. I’ve done it twice now including this year and would happily go back again.

    Stuffin’ ‘ell! I thought the TransWales was expensive at about £325.

    Seriously though, what do you get for £1300? I’m assuming hotel accommodation at the least, TBH….

    Cool.

    2017 for me, that’s my target.

    It does seem expensive and not having done it (yet) I’m not sure exactly what you get but there is an awful lot of logistics involved…
    Multiple ferries to / from Vancouver Island and the Sunshine coast.
    A fair few coach trips as it isn’t a straight forward point – point each day.

    For comparison the Singletrack6 (like BCBR but further inland) is $1499 and doesn’t include a tent city each night.

    If you’re planning to register for 2017 then a hot tip is to sign up as a user this year with cnn bikes and get as many as your details on file.

    sweamrs1 was sitting by a computer at precisely the required time to do an entry. In the time it took her to process through the various forms (of where you live etc) the early bird sold out. Her conclusion was that people had to have pre-filled some of the forms or they were quickly entering junk and then re-visiting the forms later to provide the correct information. Either way even though we were fully primed we still missed the early bird pricing.
