London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

I will join you.
Give me the details and I'll book straight after you.

It is time.

You'd be the fifth person. How many people does it take to get discounts on the eurostar?

Looks like its gonna be an epic tourney.

Good luck London.

Hannes - Website/organisation looks great.

Waiting on the word from work. I think you guys should book now, as the special prices go quick, and I'll book when I can.

Are you likely to find out today, Bill?

Maybe. Depends on what my boss is doing. She's always busy so maybe today, or maybe tomorrow.

I just looked at raileurope.co.uk
Each way £56.50 but early starts.
5th-8th
Eurostar - Paris
TGV - Karlsruhe

Well done Toddy!

Yay, Todd!

I said looked not booked..... ;-)
or are you cheering for my finding of cheaper tickets?

Who's booked already and for what times?

Todd, 56 is the one-way price, ie £112 return. Which is still probably cheaper than plane.

Todd, I was just about to. Same trip I think, but using each site... What were the times you saw?

Also, we were thinking of going on the Thursday so we have all Friday for throw-ins..

You can save 20 quid if you don't book the entire journey with rail europe. Eurostar to paris, and then either raileurope or TGV to karlsruhe (same price more or less).

Yes, the earlier the better!

Yeah that's what I meant. I think that's worth it over the plane / getting to airport etc.

What I'm thinking:
Out:
LONDON ST-PANCRAS - 04/02/10 06:02 PARIS NORD - 04/02/10 09:54
PARIS EST - 04/02/10 11:24 KARLSRUHE HBF - 04/02/10 14:25

In:
KARLSRUHE HBF - 08/02/10 07:31 PARIS EST - 08/02/10 10:34
PARIS NORD - 08/02/10 12:13 LONDON ST-PANCRAS - 08/02/10 13:28
There's an £8 booking fee.

What's that cost todd?

here's what I've got:

out:
08:02 - London St Pancras 11:17 - Paris Nord
PARIS EST - 04/02/10 15:24 KARLSRUHE HBF - 04/02/10 18:25

back
KARLSRUHE HBF - 08/02/10 13:31 PARIS EST - 08/02/10 16:34
17:13 - Paris Nord 18:29 - London St Pancras

There's a long stop over in paris (4 hours) on the way there.

Total cost is 122 pounds each.

£121 I think.

They're early starts though....

I was getting 56 Euro return for the Paris - Karls bit, and 59GBP for eurostar. And no 4 hour lay-over either. London depart 06whatever, gets in 0954, leave paris est 1124.

Pretty sure that you can collect the TGV tix at the station in Paris, rather than get them posted.

So £121.

6:02 start from London. No big waits.

13:31 return as below.

Karlsruhe hbf - 08/02/10 13:31
paris est - 08/02/10 16:34


paris nord - 08/02/10 18:13
london st-pancras - 08/02/10 19:34

nice one! was just going to post, I like your departure, but the return is way to early. I may book that.

Done. I'm booking this now.

Anyway NETTO are IN...!!!

Did Netto book their bikes on the plane?

Does that incluse your bike as that's meant to be £40 each way?

Netto Hockeystars.

gah! Verified by Visa Site went down and can't book tickets.

Netto are going to add their bikes shortly...

"Due to space limitations on the aircraft, we recommend that all sports equipment is booked online either at the time of booking or via the Manage My Booking section"

Didn't have the cash to cover everyones bikes...

What does the dark blue section represent... ;)

This sounds great, gutted... London represent!

perspective in drawings was invented in the fucking 3rd century, you moron!

Will there be any space for bikes on the plane after half of London's polo scene book on the same one?

Zomg!

Ahhhh... Fuck you all...!

Money moved about a bit.... Netto & their bikes are going to Karlsruhe....

Anyone need a sub?

how can people plan that far in advance... I'm impressed. For sure I'll decide how to get there the week before if not on the day

Get back in goal!

You mean - "shall I take the 911 or the R8?"

Right, i'm gonna beat you to the ball in Toms tap out charge for that.....

and then, get back in goal?

Obviously....

System Error!

verified by visa system error? me too. You can save the tickets for 24 hours.. which is what I've done, while I wait for them to fix it.

mmm german autobahn.. you just inspired me

Umm.. Can I come? I'll be your cup holder.

Fuck yes.

netto stubble? pah! - My beard will be longer than all 3 beards by then

Das ist Polo, ja?
