Didn't see a thread for the sportive this year. Is anyone else doing it?

A friend managed to win two entries to ride and asked me to join. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get there / where to stay etc. Will only manage a few days off of work so ideally I'd like to find someone else driving on saturday 7th and returning monday but currently looking into train / plane.

To repay her kindness for inviting me I've offered to play the role of domestique and we will look to do under 10 hours.

Haven't looked into the route fully yet but I'm hearing there's gravel??

I am doing it, taking Eurostar to Paris and then riding down to Annecy, taking TGV/Eurostar back.

There is gravel.

You will need to register on 7th so driving down that day is not impossible, but will require a very early start

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
