Jersey Size Please confirm what size jersey you will need.
Table Quiz at Goat Grill. We organise a Table Quiz every year in aid of the charities that are taking part in Paris2Nice - tables usually sell out fast. It is not a huge fundraiser, but is a lot of fun and you get to meet your fellow cyclists while they are not wearing their lycra. Tickets are €20 each (4 to a table) and the more tickets you get, the more money goes to your charity - so bring your friends! There will also be a raffle, so if you have any prizes you would like to donate, please let me know and don't forget to book your tables with vivienne@paris2nice.com
Wednesday Night Spins Start at Goat Grill. Weather dependant. Shorter spins but hillier!
Bike Fittings with Aidan Hammond. We have 5 bike fittings available at €160 (normal price is 190). Book your place with Vivienne@paris2Nice.com
Safe Cycling & Skills Workshop at Corkagh Park.
as part of your registration fee, we organise a morning course with Aidan Hammond at Corkagh Park. It is a practical training course so you need to bring your bike, helmet etc. We strongly recommend you attend one of the sessions for your own safety and that of your fellow cyclists. Some of the topics covered in the safe cycling session include:
-
Riding 2 abreast in a group and moving up and through the group in a peloton
-
Riding close to other riders in a group
-
Eating and drinking in a group while cycling
-
Looking behind you safely while cycling, individually and while in a group
-
Cornering and descending techniques, individually and in a group
Sponsorship Logos Paris2Nice provides a charity jersey (as well as the normal Paris2Nice Jersey) that you wear on day two of the trip. If, for example, you are fundraising for LauraLynn, you and anyone else fundraising for LauraLynn will have the same charity jersey. This jersey can have as many sponsorship logos on it as it can fit and is an easy way of raising money for your charity. Think of your employer, business contacts, local Spar, pub, golf club, gym. In return for a payment (you decide) their logo will be placed on the jersey. We need logos emailed to Vivienne@Paris2Nice.com by Friday 6th June

FINAL NIGHT AT NICE
-
We are staying in Nice on our final night (10th September). If you have someone coming to join you at the finishing line and you would like them to join you at the hotel you will need to arrange this with Marion Gaskin of Cycling Safaris. Marion@cyclingsafaris.comThis is especially important if you are sharing a room on the trip as you will need to book an extra room for that night for you and your guest. Similarly, if you would like anyone to join you at the celebratory dinner you will need to book this with Marion.
OTHER ESSENTIALS
-
European Health Card - essential if you need medical care while in France. Make sure it is up to date and carry it with you on your bike
-
Hanger/Dropout - this is a small part on your derailer. It is bike specific and if it breaks while on the trip, you are off the road. Order a spare with your bike ship and carry it in your saddle bag.
