Chinook - there are three options: basic (group accomodation, not much else), 2* (single or 2- person room with breakfast provided) and Exec (pampered). Still gotta talk to my friend before signing up but I am thinking 2*. Also still gotta clear medical waiver, haven't seen my doc in ages :-)
RideOn - trip of a lifetime I don't know; hard to beat the experience of digging your car out of a sand bank in middle of Saharan desert. But punishment of a lifetime for sure and hardest thing I'd do on two wheels ever. |

This event gets plugged really hard in the UK, the global hot spot for cycling as the new golf
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/active/recreational-cycling/11096970/Could-you-survive-a-cycle-stage-race.html
Got the blood work done early morning surrounded by masses of grey hair having their checks done. Not eating for 10hrs sucks as a cyclists. But the Joke Board at the Medical Lab contains the best jokes I've read, well since last time I paid them a visit. |
