A few members have been informally discussing the possibility of a Clifton CC trip to the Alps next year. Nothing really specific but possibly renting an apartment sleeping 10-12 for a week. Morzine or Bourg d'Oisans have been mooted so as to enable some of the famous TdF cols to be ridden. Late May would see most cols open and a reasonable likelihood of decent weather.......
Could fly (Geneva, Chambery, Lyon, Grenoble?) or drive (approx 8 hours drive from Calais). Possibly hire a mini-bus and/or use a mini-van for bikes? Alternatively book accommodation for the group and let folk make their own travel arrangements?
Clearly ideas at a very preliminary stage. I'm just posting to see what demand there might be for such a trip - once I get a better idea I can start to get into more detail - eg where, when, how to travel, how much.
Haven't ruled out using a travel firm but thinking we would be self-organised at this point.
I'm hoping to gauge interest at this point so if you think you might be interested please post below. If anyone has any useful information or contacts that might be useful - even if you aren't interested in travelling - please post too. If anyone has plenty of time and organisational ability and would like to organise/coordinate such a trip please feel free to post.
