One too many threads?

I will post a brand new thread for the November Cape Ride the first week of September....but I have already booked, those that want to book, feel free to do so, and if you can remember the unit you were in last year all the better. Debbie is the owner and I have spoken to her about it. Just let her know that you're with the bike group for that weekend.

Confirmed date is: The San Marino is booked for November 15th/16th
Two nights accom/two B-B-Q tea's and Two cooked breakfasts @ $180 per head..

Wait. We have to request days off?? What sort of folly is that!!



One just "works from home"

Leave booked (well pending, but no issues there). Also emailed the San Marino to cheekily book myself in early! Keen as. 81 sleeps to go (80 for me!)

I have just spoken to Debbie at the San Marino to clarify a few things. The new manager takes over September 5th so any further bookings can be made after that date. Which is about the time of the new thread.
The $180 gets you a bed in a unit and meals, if you are single, you will be sharing or you pay $360. But the instructions are that all available beds to have someone in it.
To keep the price at what it is, they need to fill all the beds, plus a few tents.

I assume you mean sharing a room, not a bed I mean there is friendly, and then there is a bit too friendly...

For a little while?...you mentioned the Mangamukas earlier, is it your intention to do that on the way up or on the way back. I ask because the ride itself is not going that way and it will mean splitting the ride up which is not what it is all about. If doing the Mangamukas on the Sunday is an option, then I have no problem with that. There will some doing the Matuari bay loop on the way as per last year buts that's on the way up. See how it goes, but your help will be appreciated as always.

Yeah room share, no real need to bed share, apart from unit 1 aka 'the bromance unit'

Inside knowledge?
