Anyone fancy doing this one next year? Was good fun this year except for the rain when we arrived in Duisberg.

Last year's itinerary ws
Friday
Fly out to Frankfurt Hahn and stay at the airport.

Saturday
Take the bus to Koblenz in the morning and leave stuff in lockers at the station.
Pick up race packs and register if you haven't already done so.
Get some lunch.
Go back to station and get changed.
Leave rest of gear not needed for race in the lockers. Take train to start. Skate back to Koblenz eat and drink plenty at the finish.
Skate taxi or walk back to station. Get bags out of locker buy tickets for Duisberg and take train and get washed on train.
Check into hotel at Duisberg station
Book taxi for the morning

Sunday
Get taxi to race start.
Pick up race packs & register if you haven't done so already
Warm up, race and meet up at finish
Take bus back to station go back to hotel rooms and shower.
Eat lunch then train to Dusseldorf. Spend a couple of hours there before taking the bus to Weeze airport
Fly home.

Works out pretty cheap for a two race weekend. Haven't costed it yet. The thing that sold out early last time was the hotel in Duisberg so it's a good idea to get this one sorted out early. That Hotel is Orsi's chain.

Would be nice to make a weekend out of it for the club if anyone is interested. Just three of us last year. Could be more. If people just want to do one or the other then that's cool too as Ray did this year for Mittlerhein.
