This is the result of the doodle:
Please block your calendars and order the parts you need NOW so the bikes will be in perfect shape for the ride.
In terms of organization:
Balls: thanks a lot for your offer to help! I'll take you up on your offer in the coming days, to help us make calls to the potential bike-friendly hotels.
BoumBoum: should we find a time to go over your list of hotels over a beer? Do you have some time next weekend?
Dopey: can we count on your help to recommend the trails? Do you already have a place in mind for the Friday DH?
Missile: can you confirm your presence to the Friday DH, and to the rest of the weekend? Your answer on the doodle said you needed to double-check with your vacation plans.
All other Jo's: anybody else want to join for the downhill on friday Aug 3rd?
Papy: will give you a call to discuss Caterpillar-specific issues.
Labrico: you now have about 2 months to find a gonzesse in Zermatt...should be plenty of time for you.
3Decis: are you really not coming?!
Nascar: any suggestions for trails are welcome, the sooner we start the discussions, the better.
Alpine: you won't become a real Jo until you join the Cat MTB weekend...
BeauJoeLais: I'm counting you in for the hotel, we will not let you sleep in your car...mainly because we might need it if Simon has a bad snoring night.
Limoncello: we're still waiting to hear from you!
Husky: anybody out there? Any chance you will join?
Tanya: should you come to realize that this weekend is (a lot) more fun than a triathlon, we'll be delighted to have you with us! Might even warrant a name...
I hope you're all as excited as I am about this weekend...we're going to ride in a truly spectacular place!
Last but not least, I've heard that the Goat is in Zurich so no excuse not to join us. Zulu, if you want to win the most km. traveled award, you'll need to fly in again this year! Bring Honeybadger with you if you do!
That's all for now, folks. To be continued!
Nameless.
Caterpillar to rescue ! The Dogs outweight the Cats by 8 to 1 - yes one !! Zulu, Husky, Limoncello, 3DC where are You ?
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what they say... "When the cat's away..."
ReplyDeleteDH Friday - no - I will be driving back from Spain that day - I will meet you late in Zermatt on the Friday evening for Sat and Sunday..
ReplyDeleteIf you would change the friday DH for a ride wherever in the Valais I would be in. Plenty in the way to Zermatt and probably I wouldn't be the only one....
ReplyDeleteNameless: health issues in Christele's family prevent me from making or committing to any plan including for this summer. Everything has been last minute organization for the last 6 months now. So not in. Sorry I ran silent on that one. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteWill be on the south of France with familly. Sorry can't make it
ReplyDeleteThats a poor balance of Cats to Dogs... I will have to look deep into the pockets to see if I can find a reason to visit Geneva in August. Sounds like it will be a fun weekend, as usual. What happened to the ride calendar this year? I need to see when to arrange my other visits?
ReplyDeleteChange in plans. Sounds too good to miss. I'll find another tri to race :) 10 years as a triathlete and you people convert me to a MTB rider in 2 months (though still a 'work-in-progress'...)
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't make the "friday dh". I can't take days off beginning of month... You may see me at Chatel during this week-end ;-)
