Trip abroad 17/3/18

Hello people I was thinking of doing a trip abroad to start off the biking season on the 17th March and was wondering who would be up for it 

option 1

leaving at 7.50am from the Eurotunnel and coming back at around 8pm French time  this would involve possibly a trip to le tourquet and then posiblly over to Ypres then back up to Calais 

OR 

Option 2 

leaving from the Eurotunnel at 7.50 am …travelling over to le tourqet for lunch and then over to ypreswith a possibly visit to this www.greatwar.co.uk/ypres-salient/museum-sanctuary-wood.htm and for for dinner then onto the bikers loft where you can park your bike outside of your room…see here for room prices https://www.grd.be/rooms and theres a band on in the evening https://www.facebook.com/events/1339021396204283/ then a trip into brugges on the sunday before a train home arriving back in the uk about 4 to 5pm 

I am much liking option 1 but i will do option 2 if people want 

I’d be in for the 1 day one. 

Over night I’d need to confirm a hall pass first.

Can someone confirm if I understand the pricing please? For the '3 per" room, it is 3 single beds, charged at 90 euros for the first night, with an additional 60 euros for the second night?

Also, as it states it is “we are not a ‘hotel’ anymore” so what does that mean? Maybe they don’t change the bedding for the second night, which wouldn’t bother me. But hopefully there are showers available.

I’m interested.

Bloody hell, Ginger lives! Hello mate!

France day-trips are good fun, we’ve done some.

This is the answer from the place

A 3-bedded room : 1 night is €90 / 2 consecutive nights is €150.
(what is confusing you on the price-list? Please tell me more because I am not aware of the difficulty of this)

We are not a hotel means : no breakfast provided, guests must make their own bed (all bedding provided). Showers available.
Also changed compared to the past :
no deposit needed, payment in cash euros on arrival.

If there are other uncertainties, please mention. :slight_smile: iVan

Yeah we have lol …and I do live …but this forum for rideouts seem like dead wood lol

The reason I asked was because on https://www.grd.be/rooms it is stated as "Prices 2018 1°night 2°night".  My assumption of 1st night and 2nd night was correct, but I was just making sure as in English, that would read 1 degree night 2 degree night, which didn't make sense.  Maybe it would help if you were to feed that back to whoever you contacted ginger.

Either option just keep us posted

I’m up for the day trip, there could be 1 or 2 others that I know that would be interested.


And I agree, nobody comes on rideouts anymore.  The BCR is  
Always the same loyal crew!:sunglasses:.

No one new…

with the option 1 …I would have liked to do the last post at Ypres but that is like 8pm so it would mean a longer day for people, and I honestly don’t think riding while tired is a very good plan, so that would mean 8pm last post them getting to the train at like 10pm for a crossing at say 10.30 which would see us arriving back in the UK at about 10pm which I don’t think its fair 

I think if we do option 1 then we do it without last post at Ypres and for Me i know live near the M1 jct 15 not in London anymore so from the ace café I have to travel 1hr 30 mins each way so I would have to be up at like 3am to leave by about 3.45 and be getting back about 1am as it would take me 2hrs 30 to get home 

this was a ride out 11 years ago  https://londonbikers.com/forums/posts/291147/tlb-france-ride-out-17th-march-2007 and another thread here https://londonbikers.com/forums/posts/530515/france-rideout-1732007&p=2 

was a good ride and god times were had by all 

Im in for a day

Interested in the one day - long day is ok for me, but I live in West London so cheating compared to J15 M1… 

Offer what works for you, if you’re leading, and let’s see how it goes

I’d be up for the overnight one.
