YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Say like SouthPark)

Man if I knew where you lived...I would come over there and kick the  out of you for posting this!!!!

Anyway my son, have a good time and bring back lotsa cool pictures!!!

[IanJ]

Don't worry we'll have to do lots of training rides between now and then.

 

I am going to try set up a Lesotho long weekend trip in January if anyone is keen?

 

 

[Jason]

Dude/IanJ my man... will you be climbing/crawling Alp d'Huez when you guys are over there?

[nochain]

IanJ are you staying afterwords to watch the rest of the tour or are you just going for the L'Etape?

[IanJ]

Don't quite know yet what stages we are going to see, L'Etape is in the Pyrenees and is a week before the pro's get there so we'll have to do some travelling to the Alps to watch some of the stages after I have ridden L'Etape.

I have only booked a three night package for L'Etape so we can do our own thing after that (will hire a car).

IanJ can you maybe PM me some of the details of the package you took ,will there still be entries available.I wanted to go this year but just could not get a entry without taking any of the travel packages ,would love to do the L'Etape and watch some of the mountain stages.

nochain you can't enter without booking a package. I booked the minimum package (3 nights) through http://www.sportingtours.co.uk

 

They were already pretty full on the cheaper packages but try them and see.

 

After the race we are just going to hire a car and travel across to the Alps to watch some of the action. Oh yes and we are going to be in London to watch the start.
