[Mike Strong]

Put me down for this one.

 

[michiel kerkhof]

I am changing the date on this one to Aug 19 as it clashes with 1 of the UK rides to eat.Hope we all can still make it this way!

 

[Mike Strong]

That might actually be better for me, a carafe of red each Giel?

 

[michiel kerkhof]

Worst case scenario yes Mike.....hope to share though with loads of coriders....expect a large group of scandihooligans!

 

[Mike Strong]

Chunnel booking changed. I'll be there.

 

[jaybee]

I'm in too......never been.

 

[Gerhard]

In, please put me on the list.. thanx

 

[AyrtonO]

Hep hep, coming there as well - just could we decide the hotel soon?

 

[orestesdjc]

When I stayed in Riga with Ayres Adventures we used the Old Riga Palace. Parking was in a secure garage opposite the hotel.

 

[michiel kerkhof]

Thanks Dave....Old Riga Palace it will be....as I failed miserably finding hotels with safe parking near center........Room booked meanwhile!

 

[Mike Strong]

Take it that it is in fact the Rixwell Old Riga Palace?

 

[orestesdjc]

That's the one. I'm not sure that the garage is owned by the hotel or if they just have access to it, check when you book. I'll not be able to make it as the bike will just be setting out from Houston ( or possibly Savannah ) but it seemed a nice town for a stroll, a meal and maybe a beer or two.

 

[AyrtonO]

15 eur/day http://www.rixwell.com/uploads/media/57a08678eac4d.pdf Or is there another one closer, that one is not very opposite to hotel...

 

[orestesdjc]

When I was there a few years ago we used a underground garage on the opposite side of the street. About 40 metres away. It can be seen on street view.

[Mike Strong]

Anyone use the Harwich ferry before, what sort of review would you give?

 

[michiel kerkhof]

Used it heaps of times in the past harwich to Hook of Holland overnight you arrive at 07ish in the a.m. what to say it's a frigging ferry you go to bed have a bad night sleep and get off....food is british so crap carry sandwiches!!

 

[Mike Strong]
