Looks like two, unless you've been commenting on the Failbook page as well.

How many contradictory routes have you requested? Tut Tut

Aaaaand time's up.

I wonder if we'll get to hear many hundreds of people have registered an interest in the "biggest group of riders ever".

Or maybe we'll never find out, because we lack the "true biker spirit". Sad

I have to admit, I'm fascinated now. It's like the world's slowest train wreck, with, uh... everything from "50cc scooters to superbikes". Whistle

OP failed cos he borked himself before they started.

The bad news is "We are aiming to do it every year. This is like a 'trial' run almost. And a good excuse to go for a big ride!" so no doubt they'll be back with their spam next year.

Was wondering if he'd collected donations and if so if he'd be giving them back.

Glad I couldn't spare the time to do it, in retrospect I think I may have been a couple of decades too young for this year's participants!!!
