Raid Pyrenean September 2010

Having contacted Marmotte tours recently i received this e mail in reply...................Thanks for your email and interest in doing the Raid Pyrenean as a club event next year. The Raid is a great cycling challenging taking in some fantastic scenery as well as giving you the opportunity to ride some of the legendary TDF climbs - it is what cycling is all about!............ We have had a lot of interest in our Raid trips already for next September and the current status is:............Mon 6th Sept - Sat 11th Sept 2010 (trip code RFR J37) – 11 places left............. Mon 20th Sept - Sat 25th Sept 2009 (trip code RFR J39) – 4 places left.............   How many people do you think may be interested? We take a maximum of 20 on our trips so could put on a special date for your Club if you think you may be able to fill it. The standard price is £620, but we offer a 5% discount if people book more than 3 months before the trip and we would be happy to offer you a group 10% discount if you get 8 or more people together...............   There are no direct flights from Manchester or Liverpool to the start / end of the Raid, so you would most probably have to travel down to Stansted. However if there are sufficient numbers in your group it would be financially viable for you to get us to put on a special transfer to/from Carcassonne, which opens up Ryan Air flights from Liverpool (Sundays only).............. Please let me know if you have any questions about the Raid and our service or if you would like us to hold some places for you while you talk to the other members of the Club........... Best Regards........... James...................................................................If we want to go we need to get our act together an get it booked.if there are enough of us i suggest we ask if they can do the week commencing Monday 13th .September Post here or contact me directly if interested.
