Another day jaunt to France....

Me and mrs dxtans can do the day trip , but not the over nighter.
However, we would still come along for the day and then peel off

That is a problem, I can see.

What sort of time away would make it worthwhile you coming over?

I ran two reasonably successful four or five day jaunts in France last summer. I could see if I could do something similar this year or next if there was enough interest.

I am glad to see in this modern age of the multiculture society, that I will be excepted on this group event, I suppose though, I will have to ride 50 meters behind you all. :augie

Look forward to it.:thumb2
 
May 8th & 9th, i'm off that weekend so up for the overnight option

Cheers

Stu
 
Day trip or overnite

Richard,
Am up for either. Will there be a limit to the number of bikes going?
Regards
Matt

Nobody wishes they live(d) in Folkestone for any reason....

Would loved to have joined the group for this one but I'm on the WNR that weekend.
 
I will be making my pilgrimage to the land of the Llangollen sheep-shaggers on this particular day.

Please include me again Richard, where else could I find such excellent company and well organised trips for such a reasonable cost! Weekend would be great or the day trip. I may even go mad and bring the better half!
 
Provisional list

I think the list of probable / possible runners and riders is:

Wapping
Dizzy Rascal
G.S John
dxtans plus Mrs dxtans
Worthing welsh
StuJW
Matt Gibbs
Mr Magic Fingers
Robroy
Wheeeeeeeeelywideeeeeeweb
LBL
Brian Masslen plus Mrs Masslen?
Spa1403
Kev B
NCPierce
Snow white

SIXTEEN BIKES and possibly 18 bodies.

I know that not all / many want to stay overnight (and some are provisional) which is fine. I am happy to arrange an overnighter for any that do want to stay on.

I will close this thread off now, just whilst I sort out some details but it's definitely a go'er. :thumb2

Yup, it's a goer :thumb2

(1) We go for the slightly earlier train at 07:50.

(2) We go for the 'Bring a packed lunch' option and a longer ride when we are there.

(3) Those that DO NOT want to stay over on Saturday night, book themselves onto the 17:20 return train.

(4) Those that DO want to stay over, book themselves onto the 18:20 train on Sunday. Being an hour later it gives us a bit more time, particularly if we go down to Vimy Ridge.

I will definitely stay over on Saturday night and have booked myself onto the:

Saturday 07:50

Sunday 18:20

Hotel
