Belgium trip Update

Captain P

Getting closer now

I will be cashing your deposit cheques
in the next few days , just for info

Tim Hector
Can I have your car registration
will transfer my car reg to yours for the tunnel
( I think you have agreed to do this ! )

Belgium shirt
I have a medium pro belgium shirt £62.50
let me know if anyone wants it
particularly any new rider
( as the peleton will look bad with only you not in a shirt ! )
or an extra one for those who like the latest fashion :-)

Cars + rides
I think this is being sorted out
you will be informed soon

I am trying to go
but may not be ready by then
hence the changes above

Richard and Steff will be in touch soon

See you

James

Hi James

Yes more than happy to take car. I have sent reg number by e-mail a moment ago.

nearer the time feel free to start nagging your driver about meeting up, music choice, who sits in the front, are we there yet? etc
we'll sort the bikes out the night before, ready for a prompt get away early friday morning

if strappy confirms as well we'll have 3 cars with 5 people in. we've got the budget to add another car so max of 4 people per car more comfortable. in that case need another driver, adam h think you voluntereed, you still ok if required?
tunnel price still pretty cheap so we probably got a bit of time to decide

skelders/stef

Senecio [Daniel D]

Sorry to let you all down. I'm gutted not to be going and wish you all a fantastic time. My shirt is a medium in size (can't remember which style).

Daniel

skelders

I think yours is a pro shirt Daniel

strappy

skelders/stef
I already have a reputation for being the most colour co ordinated rider in the club this must be upheld !!.
I could never reach the wardrobe level of skelders but i do want a shirt if possible I think my pro shirt is large,but i can try what ever is left over.
cheer all
strappy

skelders

There is a lot of talk about the Belgium Tour CCA shirts, last years looked great especially when all were wearing the same on the Saturday ride. However could I make a suggestion for Sundays, morning ride when everyone is a little fragile, visit eBay and look at some of the vintage shirts on there, especially the garish 80's euro inspired styles. Many to be had for less than a fiver, could make for an interesting peleton and potential for a tour prize.

Obviously Skelders would be limited to choosing something a little outlandish from Messrs Rapha and Co.

best wishes

Martin H

skelders

have since moved on... Rapha is soooooo last year. Now Solo, could be a goer. did see some quality tops in france as well. like the idea ...

geoffg
