So far Andy, Alastair, Doug, Brad and myself are interested.

I would suggest to go to one of the cycling hotels near to Bourg d’Oissan - we can stay in the same place Doug and I were last year ([1] www.chaletbeyond.com) It’s quite good, decent food and drink (breakfast and dinner included in the price - which is around Euro 45 a night). If we leave on Wednesday evening, have a cheap stay near Folkestone and cross on Thursday morning early, we will be in time to do an hour or two to get used to the climbing on Thursday afternoon - we can do Friday, Saturday and Sunday riding and come back on Monday.

I am looking at 10-14 June, 17-21 June or 24 - 28 June.

Estimated total cost per person (including stay near Folkestone - and fuel and toll cost) would be £300. This excludes the channel crossing but I can get these via Tesco vouchers at a very low cost.

Let me know what the preferences would be or if someone else likes to join.
