As every year, you just need to call at the number 03 24 40 15 88, you give the password: 'Napoleon' so that your reservation is retained. You will find in the table below a proposal of room teams knowing that there are only 14 rooms! it is up to you to find the ideal partner ????
Concerning the details of this weekend I will contact you later.

Do not delay to book.

Denis.

I put my holiday requests in this Morning Sam, but to be fair we could just book either two rooms or a twin room (if that's OK with you) and/or if things go tits up beforehand, just cancel later..

[Wolfie]

Damn, I knew I had someone to ring today... I was distracted by a billing email which turned out to be a scam.. and no I didn't.

[Wolfie]

Hotel is booked Sam, 29th and 30th.

2 rooms, they didn't have a twin room..

Thierry has already sorted breakfasts n things. Mind you we'll probably have toured the Alps by the time the French get out of bed for theirs.

[SAM]

Dynamic duo. Thanks for room booking.
Will look at chunnel options in the morning.

Sadly won't be there can come with my lovely girl's car but I can't ride a bike actually and certainly not at the end of may according to the surgeon. I don't have the feeling to come and to be a passenger on a bike even if it's a K triple
Excepted this peculiar issue am feel good and I know if by extraordinary my radial nerve won't come back I could put the throttle on the left side as the other nerve of the right hand works: so I can handle the bar and use the front brake.with my right hand.

[Wolfie]

Sorry to hear you are taking some time to mend JP.. It will not be the same without you my friend...

Even being there by car is better than not there at all, but you must do whatever is best for your recovery... We do want to see you fully mended after all.

You could always ask Bertrand if he has a sidecar..

[SAM]

Sorry to hear your suffering! Ann as a nurse remembers this radial nerve issue. She mentioned its do important to get the best surgeon to give you the best chance of recovery. Be good to see you if you can make it.

[husson73]

I know Sam so I have seen the best for this in Paris but sheet happens.
Wolfie, I really doesn't like riding with a car excepted perhaps an old Porsche 911S with weber carbs and swb.
But I haven't got one

[Wolfie]

I had an email from Thierry the organiser..

The Rally is still on for the moment, there will be a re appraisal at the beginning of May. But for now it is still, all systems go.

[Wolfie]

Ardennes is Cancelled for 2020 .. All the Hotels will still be closed.

The French are hoping to have some freedom from tomorrow with a 100Km tether from home..

[SAM]

Better see what I can do about tunnel booking.

[Wolfie]

I owe you for my half Sam.. But I've already booked Ferry for the Dutch, I am about to try and find out if that one is still on....

You'll see what I mean if it is.

[SAM]

Will it happen next year?
I have to use my tunnel credit this month @

[Wolfie]

There's no Ardennes news on the French Forum, but... I believe the Alsace Rally is going ahead for the time being. I just asked again.. Will let you know.

[Wolfie]

At the moment Alsace is go, if you're interested Sam, I thinkit;s worthy of more than 2 days though, it's a fair old trek down there..

Hi Wolfie normally if nothing changes Joseph organizes the outing in Alsace over 2 days at the end of September.

Salut Wolfie normalement si rien ne change Joseph organise la sortie en Alsace sur 2 jours fin septembre

[SAM]

Things happening in September! What date are we looking at?

[Wolfie]

It's usually last weekend (or thereabouts).. But he didn't say.

[husson73]

well no Ardennes rally this year 2021 for the reasons you know.
Alsace rally would be done this year at the last week end of september but wait a message of confirmation.

[Wolfie]

Thanks JP, would you keep us up to date in this thread please?

I'm still hoping I could make it but my holidays are dwindling now I have a new hobby..
