Very, very tentative idea - World CX Champs trip

Dear all,

This is a very, very tentative idea

It is the World Cyclocross Champs at Hoogerheide, Holland on 1/2nd February 2014. I've been there to watch the World Cup CX races before - it's about 90-120mins from Dunkerque.

I have a vehicle that can carry nine people, or if demand is great enough, full category D on my driving licence (big busses).

I am thinking of running a dead simple shared expenses trip (it will have to be as we're all busy with the Ripley). No frills, minimum cost job.

Early Sat drive down to Dover, ferry, saturday afternoon watching the elite women etc,
Cheap F1 hotel or similar
Full day of racing Sunday (see Sven Nys retain his rainbow jersey)
Late ferry home/possibly 2nd night hotel
Drive home.

If anyone's interested let me know and I'll start looking at it. If anyone else wants to sort it out, better still but absolutely happy to do it and still use my minibus or drive.

Steve

I think I can say with a fair degree of confidence that Ted would be interested,...as would I.

I could be tempted. I used to race for a team based in Hoogerheide so know the area quite well.
Also worth planning a trip to hopmans bike shop in bergen op zoom 4 floors of shiny kit and only 30 mins away
