  • Re shirts - I have been trying on my older Bioracer club kit and can wear a snugly fitted 4 top; one might - at a stretch - describe it as a racing fit. How does this size compare to the newer tops. Did I try on a medium in the pub, Skelders?

    Also can I get first dibs on non-snoring roommates if we are sharing.
  • Jeremy, 4 is approximaately a medium. I can't rememeber what you tried on to be honest. I would say a medium would be right, if indeed you like the 'race' fit.

    Last year we had luxurious rooms to ourselves :-) gets my vote again!
  • edited April 2010
    So who wants some cash for the trip and how much do you need Skelders for the top?
    Er... am I your size mate in a pro (carbon!) ?
  • 1 I'll take a size 4 then

    2 Wife says I can take car - which will carry four bikes on the roof, 4 adults inside (and a couple more strapped to the bonnet, dead moose-style, if neccessary.)

    3 Private rooms - luxury.
  • cost of regular shirt is £38.50 or pro is £62.50

    Robbie, just checked your last order & all your stuff was a large... however, I am a medium (ok, ok its a snug fit at the mo'!!) so I would say that would be a better fit for you. medium that is ....

    We might be engaging the 12 bike CCA trailer. Richard's car is able to pull it. That'll take pressure off the rest of the convoy.

    Anyone else in? Ideally rather not have 13...
  • trailer sounds a good option.......I know we need to book etc. and it's best to know as soon as poss......but there is time for people to decide surely........besides there's the day in June to get organised first. Will start a new thread for that one.....why did I volunteer for that?.was it down the pub?
  • clearly as geoff says still plenty of time to organise,
    but for the record, i offered to help richard with booking the accomodation.
    last year we all had our own rooms. sure that will be possible again,
    but if anyone does want to share to bring costs down hope to arrange that too. some of the rooms last year were big with twin beds, so should be possible.
    will be in touch later to sort it out.

    great to see such a strong response,... sprint could be a bit tasty this year...
  • Medium pro shirt for me
    ( you go faster in the bunch sprint apparently )
    Mr Bartlett says can not make this year
    Jeremy and John Riddett offered cars with 4
    ( John has a bottom frame roof attachment )
    I can take 4 people and bikes
    Richard can take 5 people and bikes
    ( best to avoid trailer if possible )
    once have nos can agree tunnel times and book
    need your non refundable £50 deposits please
    payable to James Boyle
    ( I will cash them later , but need them ASAP , before we book anything)
    good to get full cars, keeps costs down
    so 13 works , next 16 or 17 really

    Can have a 2009 shirt day
    and a 2010 day
    turn those heads , CCA are coming

    James
  • Skelders... yes go for the medium snug fit. Will cut out the beers.
  • i know i have been a bit slow here (nothing new!!) but could i put my name down for the trip?
  • I will be placing the shirt order next week. so any more takers for the trip need to let James know soon otherwise you'll miss out on your super cool 2010 tour shirt :-)

  • This is gonna be greeeeat!

    i will be placing the shirt order this week so need choices & sizes from:

    Richard, Daniel, Vince & James D please

    Mark, last year you had an XL.. but I'm guessing with all this training you may be down to an L???? please confirm.

    Cheers

    Martin, will speak to you later about designs :-)
  • James..I think Richards friend Martin from beds road will be coming.....makes 18 so need to start another car possibly.....how big can we get and manage the logistics???
  • Sorry chaps am going to pass on this event due to Mrs D suggesting a family holiday in Majorca for September. (Havent told her my bike is going yet but she didnt complain the last time so it will be alright)

    The pave will have to wait a little longer but i wish you all the best with this new CCA "monument"
  • Chaps
    If it is not too late I would like to join you. Sorry I hadn't replied sooner.
    Skelders, pro top in whatever size I've got - small I think?
    Chris
  • Tim....my deposit and cheque for shirt with James.......don't worry Chris.....door still open.....

    Richard is thinking that the trip should be capped at 20 - for logistics and safety.
  • Please add Martin H. to the list.

    Richard M.
  • I think 20 is the limit, so this means that there is one (1) place left and then we'll run a reserve list.
  • already there Richard..I preempted you after Sunday's chat...so looks like 2 places still available.....good news about Martin....will he be doing a re-run of the wet road cornering trick again??
  • Stef. Am aware you're coordinating accommodation. A bit awkward with 18 or so eh - so wondered if this might help; I've set up a Doodle that all of us can note preferences of; solo room, sharing or not bothered. Am not sure the hotel will have 18 rooms free.

    It might save a lot of forum bashing too.

    Your call - just wondered if a good, quicker, simpler idea to centralize. We could have done the same with the jerseys I suppose. Doodle is good and v quick for these kind of mass-decision things.

    Finally. Skelders - can you recall which night was the more camp disco night in Skelders Bar? My memory a bit hazy. Funny that. Am thinking there should be a XXS skin suit available for the brave on the dancefloor. Get Endura to put glitter on it or something.
