same as last time, the price for the accomodation depends on how many are coming and also will be booked for the week. I think in 2011 it was c£160 each.

This is obviously just for the Oz accomodation. If you are not interested, please let me know asap as you can see we are over subscribed already. Having said that the hotel around the corner is excellent, have stayed there as well:
I just asked my friend who goes to grenoble a lot and he said he usually flies easyjet (to Lyon) and then bus ride, looks like EJ are only showing tickets up to March atm? So in a few months they will be showing flights for July? Or am I missing something
Would it be less hassle to take the train? Only one change at Paris to Grenoble, returns cost around 100 quid, so pretty reasonable... Just a thought...
One slight snag from what i can gather, since we last rode it in 2011 the popularity of the event has been rising steeply. I read somewhere that last year it sold out within minutes of going on line and lots of riders didn't get a place. i will have a look at when registration opens but probably best not to book flights etc until you have a place.

Eurostar in Nov is £120'ish , cant book that far ahead.

Looking forward to this. Starting to look at a new bike.... R3 frame looks promising and seems to be classified as a climbers bike....

no worries re: organising.. there is still plenty to do..
