Gentlemen - shirts for this memorable event? Are you all interested? I'm sure if I ask Martin kindly he will design a 'must have, this season, limited edition, fantastic garment'?!
Normal shirts will be £ 39 Pro shirts £64
unfortunatly the prices have risen a touch due to VAT :-(
If youre all agreed, let me know your size and type. I have booked a slot with Endura so we're all go :-).
I've just received my 'Dossard' numbers from the Marmotte organizers. I'm pointing this out because I nearly deleted this email as spam. It was titled 'Grand Trophee Inscription/Registration' from Sportcom. I thought it was junk for some kind of sporting club trophy engraving service.
So check yer trashcans.
See you Friday. Note: our meeting clashes - nicely - into the CCA committee meeting in the Tuns on Friday eve. So I'll be hanging around for a while if anyone fancies a few Rudolphs.
Tim: I'll go Pro. Medium size. Thanks for organizing.
Speedy boarding Geoff is yet another way these robbing toe rags frm so called budget airlines bump up the price and allow a select few, who pay extra, on the plane first.
E.g - flight = £100, however this only includes the cost of hand luggage the size of a Tesco carrier bag. A suitcase Sir? Of that's an extra £30, oh a bike as well?? Oh that's another £30, speedy boarding? Give us another £15 then.... paying by credit card? That's no problem Sir.....£10 extra please!!!!!!!
Got 2 luv these cheap airlines!!!!!
Fortunately for us there is a sale on & my suitcase was a mere £18
Clearly you are taking more outfits with you than a hen weekender would do. I usually find there is enough space in my bike bag for all required and the kitchen sink.
ooooh Mr Davis, clearly not read the small print, only a bike is allowed in said box and definately not your smalls ;-)
don't forget I will have my spare bike, a couple of wheel sets, support vehicle and Dave Brailsford & Shane Sutton in there already! no room for my dancing trousers...
Tim, which flight are you on? and why Lyon? Dont sleazy jet fly to Grenoble?
I nearly got caught out last time with my bike box stuffed with general luggage. It was very heavy and the checkout girl reminded me that you can only put a bike in the box. I told her it was a heavy bike and she was about to make me open it when she got distracted by something else and let me through. I got lucky.
I've looked at various travel options and I think the Easyjet flight to Lyon is as good as anything else. Train or plane work out about the same cost, but you get home earlier flying. So I'm booked too. I found the following on the Easyjet web site;
Sporting equipment Each passenger is allowed a maximum hold baggage weight of 50 Kgs including any sports equipment, subject to available space. The maximum weight for any single piece of baggage is 32 kgs.
Yes, i hope the amount of bikes on that flight is not a problem. I know that some airlines, british airways was one, had a maximum number of bikes on any flight and that people have been refused them at the airport (possibly not prebooked, as bikes were free on BA).
I cant see anything on the easyjet website so say they have a maximium bike number and you would hope having pre booked them that they can foresee the CCA bike onslaught!
Well their 'related regulations' state "Each passenger is allowed a maximum hold baggage weight of 50 Kgs including any sports equipment, subject to available space. The maximum weight for any single piece of baggage is 32 kgs." Surely Easyjet would not allow you to pre-book too many bikes? (Anything is possible with Ryanair). In the worst case scenario then we drive or hire bikes there; there are places. In the meantime, if you plan to fly, book now! Daniel

Any chance of some blinding white shoe oversocks so we can pretend to be pro?
Spotted the conservatory light on this evening - does this mean the wheels have started turning :-)
Some things will never change... eating salad as I type
re: over shoes. I do have some black or blue lycra ones. not much good for keeping you warm but by God they make you go fast ;-)
Sorry bit late inreplying on the shirt issue. Yes please. Pro in medium for me.
When do you need to finalise the order?
