v8dean Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Quote:Luckily I went up from the Austrian side - 40 plus hairpins - not so bad going down the Italian side. Are we doing the opposite?We also had reasonably good weather for the 10CR2003, what loss of speed could we expect if it were to rain on any of these more callenging parts of the route. Just a thought.Have the dates now officially changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 yes, we are doing the opposite.We will have spent the day in northern Italy, by the lakes (including Lesa) and then going up the Stelvio the proper way! ;)We'll be handing out the route proper at the start again.Dates provisionally are Thursday 8th September to Sunday 11th 2005.Now on the club's calendar of events!We just have this year and the RBRR to do first though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'll book the holiday from work.... ;D and reserve a tow truck at Folkstone. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 I have been approached to see if it would be possible to make the 10CR less manic and more social than the first time.I won't reveal the name of the plonker that came up with that :P but having thought about it, maybe it's not such a bad idea.We would be aiming to come back on the Sunday evening. As I would be taking the Monday off work why not stay over the channel for another night's camping and travel over on the Monday morning ??) That would give us a chance for a second overnight and more socialising.I think it's a goer, probably in Belgium somewhere (I have heard they have some decent beer in that country).Not compulsory perhaps but at least it's an option.I'll look into this after the RBRR if people like the idea.

v8dean Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well if the social stop is going to be in Belgium( which i would welcome), I'm sure that i have a good location in mind which would suit all drivers.meaning a choice of camping/budget rooms/hotel. My spare room would also be available ,but i dont know who'd want that........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give that man a banana!We may have failed at this years RBRR but we WILL suceed at the 10CR!!!Must invest in a Sat Nav system first tho......... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Sat nav?What's that?Just another thing that can go wrong, get dropped, run out of batteries, get wet, etc.God forbid that anyone would look at a map!Or even do a bit of pre planning."Okay everyone. Follow me!""But where's the car park exit?""Bear with me a minute everyone. I haven't switched my sat nav on yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigGleR Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I do want you to bear in mind that I managed to get lost within 3 miles of the start of this years RBRR. I just want something to blame when I get lost in the middle of France ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Too much reliance on technology.Switch off brain.Switch on sat nav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 On this map v sat nav thing.I will be marking up a set of maps for every entrant, that's alot of highlighting so I rather hope the maps will be used! :oHaving said that you won't have much of a choice as you won't get the route until the start so there :PGlad people like the idea of another night in Johnny Foreigner land. I think it will probably be near Calais actually but if you have a location Dean in Belgium please e-mail me the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
