'05 Itinerary now available

[Jelster]

This year we're going by overnight train from Calais to Nice. We leave on Friday lunchtime, get on a train in Calais and wake up in the South of France !!

This means we get a day running around the south coast, visiting Nice, riding the coast road through beautiful Villefranche, and maybe lunch in Monaco, riding the F1 route and do "the tunnel".

Ride some of the best biking roads in Europe such as the Col du Vars, Col du Galibier, the N85 out of Cannes, infamous St Bernard Pass, and the D902 to Barcalonette. This year is going to be the best yet.

Yes dependant on cost. If it is August the it is FRIDAY 26th AUGUST (Spreadsheet says Fri 25th) :D

I am thinking about a Nurbergring trip at a cost of £600 but the ring looks scarey.

Steve,
Definitely interested, just a few family "wrinkles" to smooth out :)
How long before you need to bulk buy train tickets/have definite answers etc ?

[Jelster]

Well I was hoping to have had that done about 2 weeks ago but we're looking to see if we can get the tickets cheaper by going direct. Pete's other half speaks fluent French and spoke to the French tarin company of Fridayand I'm waiting for an update.

So to answer your question... I'm not entirely sure but it won't be long....

[falc]

Sounds awesome but may clash with a holiday doh!

Def. interested if i can wangle this holiday ok
