okay if this is to run smoothly, people will have to put their hands in their pockets and start paying for shit early, this can't be like some of the rides where people put names onto list and then bail as time goes on, earlier you book, cheaper prices will be, and more train times to choose from.
Just did a quick booking check, mid morning start, not too late departure, and it spat back this. Price is for 8 people

So right now it looks like £139 per person, they did have a more than 9 people option, not sure if thats cheaper or more expensive as right now we only have 8 people on the train list.
So lets start getting the details sorted, are we talking horrendously early start, and as late as possible return, how are people gonna get to and from St Pancras? Does everyone have a bike bag to put bike in? Where are people going to be staying and how much do you want to pay?
Lets put heads together and figure it out. I'd say we'll want to book tickets by no later than the end of this month and accommodation about the same time as well.
I don't really want to be organising this, but will do if I have to as I want to ride in Paris. Anyone else up for searching internet, finding out information, raise your hands and send me a PM, lets share the load...
Vive la France...
