[GSears]

Look forward to seeing you again. Might have a little more time for a chat

 

[Daz nes]

[JON12A]

Any more for Any more ?
Calais RTE and weekender Fri/Sat 8th/9th December.
The hotel Ibis Styles ( that we are using if you wish to stay for the Friday and or Saturday night) still has vacancies but only on the Hotel website directly.
Booking.com shows full but there are spaces.
Why not end the year in style with a weekend that has proved really popular over the last 3 years. With over 16 riders already booked this should be a good one.
If you want to just come along to the Saturday RTE that's fine as well.
Enjoy a few beers and cracking food in like minded company !.
See you all there.

 

[Andrew Brown]

Sorry can't make this one . Have a good trip and best wishes to you all 2018.

 

[JON12A]

No problem Andrew maybe next time.

Just copied Ziggys route planner for the IBA Xmas Calais event.
No need to fuel up before setting off and all bonus locations are easy to find.
Red = Hotel Ibis Styles Calais
Yellow = Family Pub
Blue = Going to Pub Friday/Saturday & Return Sat Night to Hotel

Orange = Friday Night Walk to Late Bar
Light Blue = Friday Night Walk/Stagger or crawl back to Hotel

GPS & Spot Tracker setup just in-case I get lost.
What can possibly go wrong ? !
