Just entered. Number 4 ๐
976. I was only 2 minutes in, ridiculous!
Me too...232
Yup.. 323
611 and I pressed the button at exactly 1800, and took no more than 30s to fill everything in ๐ฏ That was almost as nerve wracking as getting a solo entry to the puffer. Is there not a better system than this internet-speed lottery?
Me ๐ Somewhere in the 800s

Dutch auction?
Yep, 455.
It seems to sell out quicker each year.
No.457, was delayed slightly by mini-me No.2 trying to climb the cooker then falling over backwards and SWMBO shouting down the stairs to establish what was going on, then being accused of ignoring her.......... does she not know how important this is ๐
703 was lucky as I totally forgot happened to glance at my phone and saw a notification from my mate !
Rider 179.
I actually thought the system this year was the fairest so far. Once you'd got through the first page where it asked you how many you were registering, you were guaranteed a place as long as you finished in under 5 minutes, so the speed of initially clicking was important, but the speed of filling out the form wasn't.
The only alternative is a Glastonbury/London Marathon style system of registering in advance and then randomly allocating places.
I'm in, not sure what number as my mate got mine. 3rd time of suffering them hills ๐
Me plus 1....423 and 424...what bike and tyres?
143 and was all butter fingers. Nearly missed out by watching videos of it from last year.
Hmm, just entered after seeing this thread- hadn't even realised it was that time again. No reminder email, haven't seen any advertising.
Given #904 @ 18:40- really surprised it wasn't sold out.
I'm 330. You'll spend a lot of time climbing fireroad, but there are lots of Rocky descents, so perfect bike would be short travel fs29. Tough ish tyres. I was fine on nn double defence rear and x king front last year. X king rear failed year before.
Money taken from PayPal but no confirmation email, can I assume it's a go?
Check your junk mail tacopowell.
I was in the same boat at 18:02 and was worried something had gone wrong. Checked my junk mail and there it was
I hit the enter button a second past 6pm and it said it wasn't open yet, Had to start over again and managed to get 879 and 880.
No email for me yet either. Not in junk folder either on my PC or in webmail. Have a receipt for entry though.
Good luck to all. I'm not in this year as I haven't entered and it's such a pleasure to be missing this bit, the fight with the Internet.
I'm in.
But could anyone offer any help with borrowing/renting a MTB tandem to do it with a mate on?
I'm in. Completely forgot about it, saw this thread and logged on to find it had sold out, but a note suggesting trying back in 10 mins in case people hadn't completed entries. I refreshed the page a few times and got the registration page complete with someone else's details. Deleted them, entered mine and bobs yer uncle. Sorry if it was you I bumped out.
sidetracked and missed the 6 pm ,
long shot
anyone change their mind and selling their enrty?
832 luddite single speed see you in the beer tent!
I missed out. ๐ฅ
Maybe it would have helped if i'd actually entered. ๐
Great to see that Frazz, Teg and the boys are still turning out sellout events though.
Dark Side you are a star! Just tried again and its let me in...number 961!
SSStu - must be the first one you've missed in a long time? You got other plans for the weekend?
I missed- email me if you can't go! 2 places needed!
I'm in number 199 ๐
First Dyfi, excited but apprehensive of all the climbing!
It's not climbing you want to worry about its the traffic on the downhill,
good fun, great atmosphere and that mug!
Burchy.
We missed last years too.
Which was a shame as it's such an awsum event.
But we'll be up In Scotcheggland again for a week of riding and birthday celebrations.
Besides that we have no more room in the house for all the caps, socks and mugs we've accumulated over the years.
Oh and we'll never reach the heady heights of still being on the front picture from the first one that still adorns the Mach trails promo leaflet thingy. ๐ณ
Shit we look young on that. ๐
sidetracked by a bloody commercial on telly 18:05 and sold out ๐ก
..is it awkward to still ride there? (unregistered) ๐
Get faster at climbing and then there ain't no queues on the descent's!
In number 974! Top event chuffed to get in again.
It's not climbing you want to worry about its the traffic on the downhill
Is it time to trot this out again?
Trails are plenty wide for overtaking
No need to follow the rut that takes you to Aberystwyth tram shed. ๐
707. It sold out fast!
7,8,9&10 glad I took GCSE typing, finally paid off ๐
1000 entrants in a none competitive ride through a forest
This is a mtb version of a sportive right?
Yep i'm in, 512
all gone ๐
Yep me + 3
984
In #273 at 6.00 on the dot. Had a mate doing a shadow entry in case the internet broke , but wassnt needed.
Rode last year and enjoyed it on the 575 , will be on a Trek Superfly 29fs tis year as its well fast.
will still mince down the wc decent though ,Twas carnage last year
I'm in. Mate did the internet business, as it opened, we're still 833 and 834....
Properly stoked, my first Dyfi!
Not me this year. I've only missed 2 (the third and fourth one) since it started. I love it, but fancy less driving, more biking this Mayday so I'm going to the Lakes instead.
Although the words "world cup descent" make me tingle inside and grin like a cheshire cat. Hard decision to make.
