Update: Pemberton Classic

2 Comments

Due to the enthusiastic response to the Pemberton Classic post I have made enquiries for a place for Team SPR to lay their heads.  After numerous phone calls I have managed to find a great place for us to stay for the  long weekend.

We have all 5 apartments of The Old Picture Theatre (thanks to Stu for the tip) which can house 23 of us…

2 or 3 extra at a squeeze. It has some great features including a large communal BBQ area; a lockable shed for essential bike storage and maintenance, and a spa for soaking weary muscles.

As is the norm with long weekends, we have to pay for a 3 night minimum stay. As the crits are probably not until Saturday afternoon I am expecting that some may choose to drive down on Saturday morning instead. For simplicity, and in fairness to everyone I have decided to average the cost so it will be the same per night for everyone (regardless of which apartment you are in). For those who only want to stay Saturday and Sunday there will be a small surcharge to cover the Friday night minimum occupancy cost.

Based on min occupancy (10) on Fri night and max (23) on Sat/Sun:

3 nights @ $45pp/n = $135pp

2 nights @ $45pp/n + $16 Fri surcharge = $106

NB These are approximations and may change.

The managers have allowed us a week’s grace to finalise numbers and pay the deposit.

I will not be promising individual apartments or bedding arrangements until numbers are finalised but will endeavour to keep you all as happy as possible.

The first night’s cost of $45 per person paid to me will confirm your booking.  E-mail: lorraine.hartland@gmail.com for bank details.  A first in-best dressed policy will apply. If numbers exceed 25 I will look at options for extra accommodation.

At the moment a group ride has been suggested for the Saturday morning to recon the Sunday route and as an alternative for those not participating in the criteriums. I am intending to organise a group dinner for the Sunday evening at a local restaurant and most likely an informal BBQ for the Saturday.  Shared travel arrangements, etc can all be finalised closer to the date.
