French Run update

It's proving impossible to sort out a three-nighter, so it's back to a
two-nighter. One night within 200 miles of Calais. Second night nearer
to home - probably Chepy.

Option of second night only (that's the Saturday) for people who simply
can't make two nights.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older

I'm still in for both nights. Single room, please!

Heh, ****

You know I've booked off <toddles off to check> 5th August to 17th
August. If it happens ten, then cool, but bear in mind I have the
awesome Cornwall run then, too.

Next year, or at least when I've got a passport I'll be glad to come
along with you bunch of reprobates.

I've been threatening myself with a French run for a long time and I
think the time is now.

If it's max 200 miles from Calais [1], why not just save the bother of
organising 2 hotels etc and just do both nights in the same place? The idea
of a stop neaer Calais was because your original plan was 400 miles from
Calais.

[1] Loads of french runs are about that distance. Last one was, Epernay one
was too.

 

I thought about that. This way there'll be some fun riding in the
interim, and there are quite a few people who simply don't have the time
to do an early start on Saturday, pile 200 miles, scoff dinner, get
three hours' kip and pile 200 miles back.

We'll see, anyway.

 

Ok..........Nice try and thanks

Yep...........Hopefully I'll be involved.

true but there are also those of use who like not having to do much on
the saturday too. a bimble without luggage (and yes I know the amount
I take isn't huge) but its still a PITA.

I'd be quite keen on both nights being closer to Calais as I can really
on make it for one of the nights (the Friday)... looks like I need my
own personal itinerary

Well, it's looking like that now anyway.

I'm still up for it. I've even cleared myself from work for the whole
event.

I don't mind sharing a room.
