Bad

In!

In, flights booked, a week in karlifornia!

Did you all have a heads up on this? Only 2 spaces left when i checked the site and the thread had only been up for 2 mins!

what flights did you go for?

haha, well fuck it. I got "Das Netto" in just in time

registration closed

Oh man!
That was fast!
All 14 (open) spots gone after 5 minutes!

Can't wait to have you over here!

I reckon the train.

I reckon the pain. Beards v Netto = big grudge match ;)

Flights with ryanair, if you book now, are £10 return per person, plus £80 return for the bike.

ryanair from london stansted is the cheapest.

@buffalo
train is around 100 euro (for both directions) if you get your ticket early.

how do you book bikes on using ryanair.com? Can't find the option anywhere

select flyes, and go filling up everything, and after you put your name and stuff they ask you
I think step 3

Wickednees to the power of rad!!

i would prefer the train, they are so romantic, but dt is in charge.

What are the other travel options? i presume stuttgart must have pretty good transport links?

Just seeing if there's a way of getting there without having to get to to London to catch the flight.... Regional airports fail...

Invitational i presume

Not an invitational, I think Gabes shifty eyes say it all.....!!

another possibility (but more expensive i think) is:
eurostar to paris (2 hours) then TGV to karlsruhe (3 hours)

awesome.

Netto are going down!!!!!!

What times / dates are people booking with Ryanair from Stanstead?

It was half invitational.
14 teams: invited
14 teams: open registration

Can't wait!

Fuck yes, indoor!

Fixed

Fixed.

First: WICKED.

Second: Train. Looking at prices now.

I'm booking my flights tomorrow.

oh ffs, nevermind, i'll go anyway to support.

Yeah, I'll be there with my fake beard (no penises though).

Just checked train tickets. 125 pounds return (on the dot! although that's with today's exchange rate). Just under 5 hours on the train.

This was using SNCF and EuroStar. It may be cheaper if you use bahn to book a portion of it... But anyway, I think that's reasonable and probably about the same as ryanair once you account for train/bus to Stansted.

so you'd take eurostar to paris, and then change to SNCF there?

Cheapest option at the mo, once you have paid to go to stansted and back.

Yep. That's it. Mark, didn't you say something about changing in Strabourg for a cheaper option?

We did Paris to Strasbourg, and Strasbourg to Baden-Baden in 2003 because Paris to Baden-Baden was more money. And we decided to spend a day in Strasbourg. It'd be nice to only have to transfer once with bikes though.

hey horatio.
i write it in here so everyone can read it. :)
I'll go to the atp festival next week and my ticket to london was 99€ return.

go to www.bahn.de - angebotsberatung - Reisen quer durch Europa - internationale Fernverkehrsangebote - Spezialangebote Europa - london spezial and then check the trains.
I'm not sure if this deal is only for german customers, because when you switch to english language there is no "london spezial"?!

another possibility is to use the eurostar (london) to bruessel. and then a ice to karlsruhe.
check the button "sparangebote".
i found some connection for 39 € (one way bruessel to karlsruhe), so if you can find cheap trains from london to bruessel maybe this is cheaper.
please note that you need a bike bag for the ice. Otherwise you will get kicked out!

In most cases the train is a good alternative. if you count in the check-in time, flight time, riding to the airport,...it's the nearly the same as riding 6 hours in the train.
and of course it's ecofriendly and romantic. :)
hope this helps?

can't wait to meet you guys again.

Nice! But shame no Dutch teams.

Ok, I've stopped sulking.

I'll be there anyway to support and be a sub if anyone needs. (still sulking a little)

I'm getting this message (same result in English and German): "Preisauskunft nicht möglic" (Price information not possible)...

Stop sulking! It will be awesome! And you can translate for us all weekend! Yes!

I'd like to get the train.
When those who want to book train have made their decision.
Can they please let me know dates and times to I can travel with them.

I have a lot of love to give...

OK. Yay! (I mean it, I've stopped)

Todd's coming on a foreign trip!
Sweet.

Todd, if I can get Bill to confirm his dates, I want to book today. Leave the Thursday, come back the Monday.

Okay who's flying Stansted-Karlsruhe? and when? I'm just about to book Netto onto the Friday flight out & Tues flight back..... wondered what other people were doing....

Gabes and me are leaving on wednesday coming back on tuesday
