Afternoon All,
I posted here previously about a trip to Ventoux and there was a little interest. Well, I am posting to say we have firmed up the date. A group of 6 of us, with 2-3 spaces available, will fly out on the 30th June next year. Most will stay 4 days whilst a few of us may stay another 2 or even 3 days. As i said previously, i hope, bikes will be collected from kent/london a few days before and our host Angus will take them over with all luggage etc, in his fully kitted out van bringing them back when he returns. He will book flights to nearest Airport, we fly out, he meets us at airport bringing our bikes and then drops us off at a convenient point for a 60km ride to our location where our luggage awaits us. Much the same arrangement on the way back but in reverse. The weather there can be a little windy as we know so if needs be the van can be used to drive us to areas where the weather is more favourable. Cost will be between £599 and £699 depending on number of people going and includes flights, accomodation transport of bikes etc, breakfeast and lunch and following us around on the van ferrying food and water and mechanical assistance. We went to northern France with Angus last year and had a very positive experience despite poor weather. I would expect similar next year with increased likelihood of good weather and then there is of course, Ventoux!
If anyone is interested and thinks they can commit to (and i understand how difficult it is to get agreement from families for a trip such as this as well as concerns about cost and use of holiday time) then perhaps best to pm me rather than use this thread.
cheers
Bob
As Andy said, AAAC's your man for a recommendation!
