Well what a view today, beautiful snow capped Alps all the way from MonViso round to Monte Rosa, 180 degrees of mountains, you've got to see it to believe it.
Nice ride too

Staying with Italian Clarion.......

Stivali !

Well We've had a few visitors prior to our 'free accommodation to Clarion CC members' offer.
But since we've had none.
What more can I say?
I'm thinking of selling places by raffle. Perhaps for a club / group of riders to come & stay / participate in a training camp.
Does anyone know if this works? Is it legal?
Say a club buys a ticket for our 'Paris - Nice finale & Milan - San Remo' trip of 9 days & 8 nights.
A ticket includes for 12 riders to stay.
Ticket price is say £60
To break even we'd need to sell 160 tickets
So a club would have a 1 in 160 chance of getting a free trip (excluding flights) for 12 members.
Good eh?

Speroni !
