Duane_Bosch Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 Local or International? International Booked? Nope. Have to wait for uncle SARS to give me my refund Dates? Early October Location? Spain specifically Girona Roadie or MTB? Roadie Touring or Racing? Touring First timer or repeat offender? First time to Spain Who else is going? My lady Budget. 35-40k all in. So far the plan is to fly in to Barcelona and take the train to Girona. Riding plans are to hit Rocacorba and Els Angels and to do a ride to the coast & catch the train back to Girona.
Duane_Bosch Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 Ok so change of plan. We were going to do Girona in October but have had a rethink. There's a teenager in the house doing matric this year so that has to be the priority and an October trip doesn't really work. We looked at December but Bonus advised against it so it's probably going to be spring 2019. And it might be Majorca. Having said that I've already booked for my semi annual pilgrimage to Morzine. Yes Yes I know. Local or International? International Booked? Yup. Qatar Airways Dates? Flying out 18 July. Back here 2 Aug Location? Portes du Soleil France. We'll also possibly do a day trip or 2 to Samoen and hopefully a day trip to ride Alp d Huez Roadie or MTB? 4 ballies on trail bikes. Although I might accidentally trip and pack my DH bike. Touring or Racing? Touring First timer or repeat offender? 7th trip to Morz. I can't really decide whether I like the place or not so I'm giving it one last chance Who else is going? Jan from Helderberg Trails, Martin Lombardi (Matt's dad) Tony (Capediver) Me. There will also be a crew organized by my mate Karl staying in a house about 70m away from us. Budget. +-25k. I got a plane ticket and insurance for 8.5k. Accommodation is 6k for 13 nights which is already been paid for. So now it's just visa, lift pass, airport shuttles and beer money.
