- Time trial on road - 12 km long - Saturday late afternoon.

- Hill race - Short time trial in the town of Allegre with grades up to

15% - Sunday morning.

afternoon.

- 200 m flying start on the local airport track - Monday morning

Tuesday to Friday, 8-11th of August:

- leisurely rides ranging from 30km (easy) up to 180km (demanding)

	great! it would be nice to know how many people intend to participate. At this stage, it's difficult for us (the organisers) to guess the turnout..and thus to plan on the necessary ressources (accomodation, food, time keeping...) If you need hints on travelling to Allegre, get in touch with me. Cheers Marc

	Hi Marc Fiona and I, Claire and Adrian (tandem), Jon and Anne and Sherri are coming along. I guess 5 or 6 of us will 'race', but on bikes suitable for touring.
	Right Time - Right Place - Wrong Speed

	Would anyone like to share transport (ie driving) to/from Allegre, either in my car (Mondeo estate) or theirs? I plan to set off early Friday morning (Aug 4th) from Nottingham, stay overnight somewhere south of Paris, and arrive Allegre around midday Saturday. I can't stay for the social rides so will be heading back first thing Tuesday. Overnight accom in Nottingham on Thursday night is available if required. Please reply by PM if interested.
