Important items to remember to bring >>

  • Travel insurance
  • Helmet (on the spot fine if caught not riding with one)
  • Shoes

  • Saddle (only if you have a preference for you own)
  • Good legs ;-)
Any questions give me a shout?

4 Days = £65
5 Days = £75
6 Days = £85

**Optional Insurance can be brought at he shop**

Don't forget to bring the following:

Own saddle (optional)

After looking at the rider list there will definitely be 2 maybe 3 groups...A, B, and C

These groups will obviously vary in speed with A group averaging 30-40 kmph depending on the terrain; B group will average between 26-32 kmph with C group mainly for riders who are either just starting out in cycling or who wants a nice leisurely pace.

**With the help of Mark Bond and Fraser Crewe a provisional group list has been made**

Hope your winter training is going well, we're already in February so not long to wait for some warm weather and great roads! N

Hi guys,

Hope you are all having a great christmas and may i wish everyone a happy New Year.

As you can see the rider list is getting quite big with a good chance a few more joining in the New Year. Once we are in January i will need the following as soon as you can provide them >>>

* denotes importance

* room requirements and how many nights?
** bike hire, size required (s,m,l,xl), days required?
*flight dates, times of arrival and transfer required?

Which group do you think you will be riding with... A = 30-34kmph within 110-200km, B = 26-29kmph within 80-150km?
*Be honest with your fitness as you are riding out of your comfort zone with the km's covered!*

Hi Guys,

Only a few week to go, hope your training is going well...

Apologies for the long silence since my last blog, but unfortunately I had a computer meltdown, which left me with no way to update the Poco Loco site!
The final list is now published with a few changes from the original one. I will be sending out an email to you all with final requirements to enable everything to go smoothly upon your arrival!
