Ghent six day

is anyone going this year, or thinking about going? I wanna go but my other half isn't interested in sitting in a velodrome for a few days watching bicycles.

Chris, aka Aroogah, was talking about arranging a trip to the Ghent 6 at central drinks a couple of weeks back. I'm keen to go again too.

The last day is Sunday 23rd November.

We are going to go and watch the final two days of racing again. I suggest we leave on Saturday morning 0900-1030, book into a B&B/cheap hotel for one night and wander around Gent sightseeing and bike shopping* until the racing starts at 1900.

After Sundays racing finishes (1900) we'll hop back in the van and drive back home.

Winspar will book the ferry, hotel and track tickets. There are seven places available in my van.

* Just an idea, I expect this will turn into a pub and food hunt very quickly.

Ok, here's an estimated cost for the Rollapaluza holiday package...leaving Saturday 22.11.08

Includes

Bike storage in E1, close to Central London
sensible leaving time on Saturday.
Seat in our minibus, we'll drive you from meeting point to hotel
ferry
fuel
Motel/hotel style accomodation for one night in twin rooms one mile walk from track.
no breakfast, you can pay at hotel or pick something up from belgian cafe /patisserie
2 tickets (saturday night and Sunday afternoon) for the racing (second best type...on back straight, fourth row...they are selling fast though...so not guaranteed)
Return journey, leaving direct from track to get a late ferry back to UK...arriving back around midnightish on Sunday night
Caspar and Winston's friendly banter and factoids for free.

in the region of £120

as well as brekky you'll need to allow some spending money and beer money...should be room in van to bring back some samples too.

make a list if you're still interested.
