Hi All

Would anyone be interested in going over to France on a charity rideout weekend of June 12/13th. The rideout is for Aspire which is a spinal research charity particulalrly aimed at bikers who unfortuneately do suffer this type of injury.
The rideout starts from the Channel Tunnel in Kent and ends up in Le Touquet (yes home of the famous beach enduro race) with an overnight stop and back home on sunday.

There and is a social in the evening at a Le Touquet bar (details on the below web link). Accomodation will be required on the Saturday night and again if you cllick the link below and then go through the GB riders link it will give you all the info about the travel agent doing the bookings for the hotels but hotels are booking up fast.

So far about 130 bikes have signed up and more are needed so please see if you can come. The cost for the Eurotunnel return is about �55.00 which includes a donation to the Aspire charity so you dont have to get any sponsorship.

I went last year and it was thouroghly enjoyable and rode my XT660Z so dont worry about keeping up with sportsbike as its a leisurley pace (this year there are differnt groups you can ride in so caters for all types of bikes-see below link)

I booked about 2 weeks ago and would be happy to meet up with anyone from XT660.com who wants to go.

It's not only the weekend of both the missus and the daughters birthdays, but also the IAM BBQ - so good luck with the ride, and make sure you don't let the side down!!

Hopefully this will remind you!

Anyone signed up yet?

do you know if there is camping ?are do you have to stay in the hotel.and what ride you booked on as may come with mate.

Hi

Thanks for reply. Camping- I looked at camping but no tenting campsite actually in Le Touquet but further down coast which means riding/taxi into town and back again unless you dont/mate doesnt drink?

You can stay where you want but most of the central hotels have been booked unfortuneately. I am in the Red Fox(was full but google it to see if space but expect �100 per night inc breakfast) which is bang in the middle about 5 mins walk from the evening entertainment social bar/club.

I booked on the scenic ride at the top of list (5 places left) as its not a race and I would rather just enjoy the ride.

Hope you can and the mate can make as it would be nice to see more XT's on the rideout. There are alot of GS riders as the main organiser is from knobblies.org which is a trail bike club of sorts.

If you book let me know and PM me your details so I can make contact and meet up.

thanks for reply .im in work tmorrow .i will see if i can book time of as i work shifts.will look for accomodation tonight .cheers dave

Any luck?
