George/Glen have you guys sorted digs?

Iain, the bunk house we're going to be staying in (which already have been booked) sleeps more than 30, at the moment (excluding Glen's car + riders) we have 16 total of Jets + parents. Therefore, plenty of room left, as Martin said earlier, approx. £100 per person for 2 nights as it stands, but the more people staying, the cheaper it will be per head!

Hope that makes sense!

thanks Chung, will book later today. You doing the full route or middle one? remember last time I did it, first 40 miles were very boring

The full route is 229km with the first 50 mostly on segregated cycle path as far as you can remember (well, at least from the Brugg start anyway) - You're right, it is rather monotonous but one gets to see/experience/enjoy :-) the typical Flandrian landscape ............... I somehow thought it wasn't bad at all & it went by fairly quickly.

However, I signed up initially with the view to help lend a hand in "shepherding" (more like sucking their wheels) the Jets around, plus I don't really fancy getting up in god forsaken hours to catch the shuttle to Antwerp :-/ ........ hence I'm going for the 174km route! :-)

Either route will have all the climbs & cobble sections anyway, so ........ your choice really, Iain!
