Committee Alan McLean Posted May 9, 2012 Committee Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi all/Ritchie We will be arriving on the thursday evening. How will we recognise Dante's transport? Is there a meeting point at the airport. Grateful for advice. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wednesday departure 05:45 group. What is the plan for check-in. Are we assembling (7) and checking in as a group to get seats together or check-in online and be scattered about the aircraft? Richie - what is the name of the hotel in Cesenatico?

Life Members chung Posted May 10, 2012 Life Members Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Paul, I think this is the hotel: http://www.hotelbeausoleil.it/spiaggia.aspx chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 E-mail sent to Dante asking about meeting points etc. Yes, Chung has the hotel. As Paul has posted...same for the Thurs bunch. You can either check in online at home 24hrs before or I think you swipe your passport on the BA terminal in the airport and get your boarding pass then so we could all line up together. Don't know if that guarantees seats next to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Davie B, I've spoken to local taxi mob re getting to airport. Been quoted £21 for me, thee, luggage and bikes. Shall I confirm booking. If we need to be at airport at 4.45 I'm suggesting 04.00 pick up for you, picking me up for a 04.15 depart. Yea or nae. If yea pm me your address.

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 10, 2012 Author Committee Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 We might be in a recession but Euroland has it worse. £1=1.25 euros and euro appears to be in freefall so I suggest you delay settling your holiday bills for a long as possible and hope that Euroland implodes before we do.

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 10, 2012 Author Committee Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Richie Sorry to trouble you but can you please ask Dante whether we need to bring any documentation such as race licenses/doctors' letters etc. I see also that the organisers ask participants to download a race pack but i think you need a race number for this. I have tried the website but it is difficult to find my way around. I cannot find my name or our club name on start list. I presume we are entered under a generic hotel/package name? Can Dante or the organisers allocate numbers now? Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi Alan, You could take your licence/letter if you want but all the copies of letters and race numbers have already been passed to Dante and that's all he required. I'd also asked about not seeing us on the website. Dante said it was because we'd booked through him and the hotel etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Left field comment! I was speaking to a bloke yesterday who had ridden a similar event previously. He said the thing that has stuck with him the most was the wave like sound of thousands of cleats being engaged and the sound growing louder and louder at it travelled down the mass of riders. He said it was really weird but utterly memorable. A different take on things but a nice thot. Wished us all the best in Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted May 13, 2012 Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Richie, at the risk of asking the question that finally makes you snap, do you happen to know anything about bike storage facilities at the hotel? Should I be taking a lock? EDIT: Ignore me, Richie. I checked the hotel's website. It says they've got a safe bike store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted May 13, 2012 Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Aargh, that was two questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 No worries. God knows how Dante must feel. I've been e-mailing him asking about wi-fi etc....when all that info is on the hotel website as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 21, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 It was brilliant. Very hard but very satisfying. To a man the JWCC put in an excellent shift - the easiest climb was probably on a par with the Fairlie moor from the coast side, except much longer Special mention to Richie for his organising it all.
