Ride the Alps

Post by Patch » 25 Feb 2015 10:31

I'm just floating this for the moment. Last week of August Sun 23rd to Sun 30th. Trip to Chalet Ribot to ride some cols. Possibly ride the Marmotte route for those that feel up to it.

Prices would be £50 per person per night (includes breakfast afternoon tea and dinner) £350
Flights from Birmingham to Lyon are about £80 return (depends on when you book and whether you take bike. Bike adds £40 to whatever the ticket price is.)
Car hire from Lyon to chalet, between £280 and £500 depending on car split between however many people in car.
Or you could drive thats about £500 in fuel/ferry/tolls split between whoever is in car. Takes 14 hours.
So it would cost about £600 each to do it (given 4 people per car)
Maximum 15 people.

Let me know what you think.

I'm up for it, as long as we can keep the transport costs down so it doesn't end up being too expensive overall (the accommodation is good value, but I'm already going to Mallorca this year, so need to keep costs down).
