I'm doing it. Great weekend away with wife and kids....oh and I'm riding Sunday

Damo

I'm keen... Love Orange. Not sure how much I'll love it if I do this though.

come on jo

I'll talk to Trouty about this as it's her b'day time then. It's also very close to the B2B in April and and is quite a long way at 170k's. But Orange is lovely and there's some excellent restaurants. We'll see.

I have this Pencilled in

If we get a team of 11 together you only pay for 10, also if you enter before December 18 early bird entry you get the jersey for free. Good deal

We are a no.

Sounds like a plan, I'm happy to be part of a team entry.
Have a great ride,
Peter

I will give them a call tomorrow to see what we need to do. Also only 2000 entries available so we will need to get in quick I reckon.

I spoke with BN today they will send me a spreadsheet so that we can enter as a team.
If you are keen let me know so we can get it in quickly so that we can take advantage of the early bird entry and free jersey.
Damo

No worries Damien, I'm a definite. Just chasing around gauging interest to see what numbers we'll have.

OK team,
The deal is if we have 11 riders we can enter for the price of 10, that's $15 off. If we enter before the 18th of December (next Friday is the cutoff) we get a jersey included in the entry.
So if 11 of you are willing to transfer money to my bank account then I'll put through the entry.
I'll have to get details from you as well - date of birth, address, emergency contact no., jersey size and some other stuff.
If we can get this together - fantastic! Otherwise we just forget about it and enter individually.
Have a great ride,
Peter

Hey Pete,
Andrew and I are definitely in and happy to transfer money, let me know when/how you want details
Tarryn

Tarryn

Thanks Tarryn,
I would like if the money could be transferred soon as I'll be able to pay the entry fee before Friday. But we have to get everyone on board for it to work - i can cover if people are a bit late but not too late. If I can get more response from others on the list that would be good.
I'll private message everyone on the list in the next day or so to push for a commitment, give my bank details and also outline the personal information you need to provide for registration. I'll also contact the event organisers and let them know we're proceeding with this.
Peter

I am ready to transfer the cash straight away.

We're in too with cash and details.

I think we've got a team.
PMs sent.
Peter

All done Peter. Let me know if not received.

I'm in

Send me transfer info

Thanks for organising Peter!

Am I not in the group ride

Am I not in the group ride

You can ride with us Neil. I'l make sure the organizers include you in our team entry.
Also, everyone, your money all made it into my account so thanks for that

thanks Pete for stepping up! Also Neil has found some pretty good accommodation options I hear

Thank you!

Yay so where are we going for dinner Peter

That's your department Neil

Thanks Pete. Much appreciated.

bit late for the team, jersey and early bird, but I'm in.
Neil we can make our own team !

...Peter it looks like you deserve the $15 saving for the organisation

Hi all I'm looking for some accommodation in orange when are people heading up and who would like to share a place

I was planning on heading up on the Saturday morning and back Sunday evening. Happy to share a place to split costs.

Neil, planning on only spending Saturday evening in Orange, heading home after the ride. Happy to be included in any accommodation plans.
Also, I was contacted by the organizers, they want to know if we're interested in having a marquee/shelter at the start/finish (which is a velodrome in Orange). Seems like we could all use it before and after - faster riders waiting for the rest to finish would have a place to be, friends and family could use it during the day.
Is this of interest to people?
I'll be getting back in touch with the organizers in the next fortnight to discuss this further.
Peter

Hi Neil, I'd like to share a place just for Sat night and I would appreciate a lift if anyone has room in their car.

Christian and I would also like to share a place.

Phil, we may have room!

OK just a quick look most of the houses are booked out I think the best bet is a motel if we are only going for one night there are a few to look at. I also have room for 3 others if youvneed transportation

I can fit one more if anyone needs a lift

ok i have found a few motels on booking can you all let me know who wants a room i can book them there isnt much left so we need to do this, this week

Thanks Neil, since we're not sharing a house I've jumped online and booked a motel room with Peter B so we're sorted for accommodation and transportation.

OK I ha e 3 rooms booked at the west end motor lodge there is a queen and single in each room

Christian and I do not need accommodation thank you.

Ok

I will take one of the beds. Thanks heaps for doing the leg work. PM me details to pay you and i transfer the money.

Thanks Neil. I'll grab a room too

If there is still a bed available somewhere Neil I'll take it.
Damo

Yep damo there is a room with a queen and a single in it are you ok for a lift I have Rome for one more

Right, I've got packages for - Phil Daniel, Ben Ford, Anthony Kenway, Christian Lees, Tarryn Myburgh, Andrew Szwec & Damien Walker. You are welcome to pick them up from my place any evening after 7. If you are definitely coming on a club ride on a morning I can bring it to the post office at the start. I will be at the bike show at Tempe Velodrome on Saturday morning. I plan to be in Orange for the ride briefing at 5pm Saturday and I'll be at the start early. If you want to use the rider valet service you'll need to get your parcel on Saturday or before. BTW my jersey fits - maybe could've even gone a size smaller. If anyone doesn't know where their parcel is let me know or any other problem and I'll send an email of to the organisation.
Have a great ride,
Peter
