Paging the 2009 French runners

There'll be a general email going out soon, but for the moment:

Looks like the hotel rate will be in the region of £57 per head per
night for those sharing rooms and £66 p/h p/n for single room
sociopaths. Ferry costs yet to be negotiated, but on past experience,
will be about £40-50 per bike.

That'll mean a total cost for the weekend of about £135 per head for
two people sharing a bike: singletons will be looking at about £175.
That includes a four-course dinner each night. Considering the state
of the pound against the euro right now, I don't think that's a bad
deal at all. Wine list prices start at 14 euros, by the way.

The hotel will be wanting a 30% deposit before Christmas, so watch
your inboxes in the next week or so, because this will have to be paid
pronto if you want in.

 

Cool. Whereabout's are we going then?

 

Last I heard near Orleans.

 

Oooh, looks like I'll get to buy a new map!

 

Oooh, looks like I'll need a bike with a decent tank range!

 

One that won't break down, you mean.

 

<Pats 28 litre tank>

 

Hell, yeah! How many stops would that be on the Hypermotard?

Has Zymurgy still got the R30? You'd make a lovely couple.

And try not to be too late got dinner, hmmm?

 

Shall I go on the reserve list for your place, or do you think you can
keep it upright until May ?

P.

 

Oooh, looks like I'll need a bike...

 

Oooh, looks like I'll need a bike...

You can borrow my BMW

 

Cheeky cnut. But yes, by all means. Better still, come along as well.
I could do with an extra breakfast.

 

According to Google mileage, at least 3, probably 4 tanks of petrol.
I'll take the 748 but that will still mean 2 tanks even if I take
it easy.

 

You'll still have one?

 

The hotel TOG was thinking of is Le Relais De La Poste, a Logis in
Pithivier.

 

Pithiviers dammit.

 

Did you try the Brittany Ferry discount thing?

 

Not yet. Remind me.

 

You're taking the pith right ?

 

Top DFVing that man, as always.
