Cheers IB. Do you know if they take the money off the card at time of booking?
Thanks ISB

Hello everyone, bad news....
The hotel has just told me that they will only run a group booking if i pay everything... in advance...
I am not prepared to have you send me money in CHF to then reconvert to EUR. So you will all have to contact the hotel individually and make your own reservations...
I will be sending you all an email to this effect too today... with the phone number of the hotel so you can call and book
Hotel telephone number +33 4 93 88 85 55
Regards
ISB
ISB - thanks for trying, but not sure why you won't pay - you can trust us
But I've just booked on line for near enough the same price ISB was offered
Pingu - my confirmation email says 'The amount to be paid at the hotel .....' which makes me think they haven't charged my card (plus they never asked for the CCS number)
Thanks for trying ISB.
I too have booked online.
As above, thanks for trying ISB, will book online too.
for those of you booking online... check it is the hotel IBIS CENTRE GARE...
the others are at the airport and 5km from the START/FINISH...

Thanks for trying ISB
Booked: Nice Centre Gare.

i would pay the extra for the bike... and then there is no stress
I remember us talking luggage allowances ages ago.
I honestly, honestly can't see how you can do it on just the 20kgs plus cabin baggage. I use a bike bag too and I usually carry pedals, bike shoes, my actual race clothing and seat post in my hand luggage purely out of superstition. I then put as much stuff as I can in my bike bag to make it up to the 20kgs and that doesn't give me room for much. I can't see how you'll make it all fit within the weight limit of the bike bag and then the dimension restrictions of cabin baggage. I know I'm a woman but I do know how to travel light, I'll wash clothes out etc but you've got to pack all that race kit PLUS at least a couple of t-shirts and a pair of shorts!
The only way I can see you doing it without paying the extra is if you're taking your daughter to sherpa and you can share her baggage allowance?
I've paid for a bike box and hold luggage as don't want any hassle at the airport. The bike box is pretty big compared to regular luggage even if it doesn't weigh as much. Mind, my hold luggage will cover my daughters stuff too.
The wet suit takes up a lot of room then there's the bike/run shoes, bike helmet, all pretty bulky. Bike bottles, pump etc.
Haha Mouse, didn't read your post before I posted
Oh, I've had a brain wave. Why don't you do a dummy run? Shove the bike in the bike bag (don't take it all to bits as you're only weighing it) and see how much you can get in with it? Weigh it and see what it comes to.
It's the only thing worrying me about this whole event.. Getting all my kit out there, or SleazyJet losing my bike, or or or or
Cross post heaven, Pingu.
