leona Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Our supporters have had to pull out so I'm trying to find someone to drive our motorhome for epic. think I've got someone but need to find out what the going rate is for driving? has anyone done that before or used someone to do it? thanks
V12man Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Post a wanted advert - pretty sure someone will be keen to go along to see the inner workings of the Epic.
SwissVan Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Try look for a Physio who is for hire that week and willing to drive the van, that way you get a personal masseuse, driver and maybe even a cook... EDIT: We did this a few years ago, but for the life of me cannot recall how much it cost us...we divided the cost between 4 (2 teams) Edited January 30, 2014 by SwissVan DIPSLICK 1
leona Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 i didnt really want to post on the forum for a driver as its a huge risk taking someone who i don't know at all and trusting them with the motorhome. I'm sure it'd be fine but just too big of a risk. we have massage already paid for.. this driver thing is a real sudden last minute problem.
richriley1 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I know this guy who would love to drive the motor home.He's name is lamb chop,he's pretty short but bigWith personality and great entertainment!!I could forward he's details on to u?
deonkretch Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 How about speaking to your LBS or any of the local bike shops? You may just find a young mechanic that would love to experience the race and then you have someone to give the bikes a once-over in the evening. I've been fortunate that my wife enjoys going to the races so she drives the motorhome, cooks and makes sure the beer is cold. I've even trained her to do some basic bike stuff like replacing brake pads, cleaning chains and topping up sealant... and who said SWAMBO could not be trained (SWAMBO - She Who Always Must Be Obeyed!) Enjoy the Epic!

He should be ok if you put grannies cushion on the seat so he could look over the dash, but the BIG question is do you think his feet will reach the pedals

Enjoy the Epic! we have mechanic/massage already paid for. the driver has to be over 25 so young mechanic won't do unfortunately. its such a bummer, 2 supporters packages paid for too. was really looking forward to the whole thing with the people that were coming but nothing we can do about it.

Kranswurm Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 thanks, will do.And speak to Kevin himself.He will point you in the right directionHe is cool
DIPSLICK Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 thanks, will do.as i am sure you know the excess on a motorhome is huge make sure you choose wisely
adamwade Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I could be interested for no charge only my airfare and food and beer.
leona Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 as i am sure you know the excess on a motorhome is huge make sure you choose wisely exactly! thats why i haven't posted on here looking for someone.. (no offence to anyone)
leona Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 I could be interested for no charge only my airfare and food and beer. thanks for your offer had someone from england lined up but he's got points on his license so won't work
adamwade Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 thanks for your offer had someone from england lined up but he's got points on his license so won't work no problem. I keep mine clean.
