Event Details 12th - 14th June 2010

British riders travel from Newhaven to Dieppe on the Saturday morning on the Transmanche ferry service from Newhaven. After checking into your chosen accommodation and having lunch we reassemble in the Town Hall for a reception hosted by a member of the Mayor's office and CC Dieppe, followed by a glass of wine.

Prior to the ride on Sunday you will receive route sheets for your chosen distance, all of which are covered on local maps. Suitable maps include: 304 (Local 1/175,000 series), 513 (Regional 1/275,000 series) or the old Michelin map 52 (now out of print). Riders may travel in groups or ride alone. The entry fee of £6 includes mid-way refreshments served in the grounds of the chateau at St. Aubin le Cauf.

There are generally 2 walks which start from the event HQ at 9 am. The shorter one is around the centre of Dieppe but the second longer walk takes in the surrounding countryside and is around 10 miles.

Immediately following the rides there is a prize presentation where some prizes normally come our way. There are many awards for the children who participate so it is a real family occasion.

On Sunday evening a meal is arranged in the Windsor Hotel on the seafront for the first 120 to apply. This year the arrangements for this have proved a little more difficult as we need to set the price now and the exchange rate is dreadful. We have thus decided it is necessary to set the price at £30 per head. This assumes an exchange rate of approx 1 Euro to the pound. Providing the exchange rate does not drop further, the price will cover the 4 course meal with welome drink and wine.

Monday morning and early afternoon are free to do as you wish, prior to the return at tea time.
