There are 10 riders and one driver booked on the Whitsun Bank Holiday Guildford Peloton Etap Reccie Trip (11 riders now, just had a late response). The hotel and a van is booked, and I assume so are everyone’s flights. Local Picon distilleries and Pizzarias have been advised of the visit.
Judging by correspondence a number of groups are going to be in the area that weekend including GPM10/Cyclefit. The road up the Ventoux is going to busy.
I have circulated an email to all the associates of the Guildford Peloton. Things are hotting up on the organisation front. I have asked the usual questions of the participants, any dietary, medical or other requirements, passports and insurance details, next of kin and disabilities (last year another group in the same hotel incurred an fatality) which I need to advise the hotel of or need to be built into the logistics. No doubt there will be the usual nil return then everyone will tell me on the aircraft and expect me to have a photocopier etc to hand, but I might be plesantly surprised.
I have also asked for peoples entries and excuses and reasons as to they qualify for any of the following categories:

I have also asked for peoples entries and excuses and reasons as to they qualify for any of the following categories:
- slowest rider
- best excuse
- most unfit
- best dressed (Rapha suits are banned both on the bike and at meals)
worst dressed (baggy lycra gives extra points) - most camp / only gay in the peloton
- most drug fuelled (Fishermans Friends don't count in this category, only the category above)
- worst steed
- flashest steed
- babe on a bike (not that we are sexist but only the two girls qualify for this unless there is something one of the boys has not told us?)
I have already had excuses like broken ribs, chest infections, athletes foot and late delivery of new bikes.
We will also include the usual Yellow Jersey, Polka Dot Jersey, and Green Jersey competitions. These are wide open this year with the absence of Lance Armstrong, Carlos Sastre, Nicole Cook and the Guildford Peloton Club Champion.
These competitons are all in the spirit of good club ribbing and humour and the organising committee will consider submissions on the flight out and will verify the result on the way home. Prizes will not be awarded, only titles.
*Usual rules apply to this trip, NO YFronts under your cycling shorts
