52 French cyclists were booked on the 4 hour boat from Dieppe on Saturday
1st . This boat was unable to sail so the group tried to go on the 2 hour
fast ferry . This was unable to take them all . After a heated debate at the
loading ramp all the cyclists were turned away . Thence no French on the
French ride! .
The Event this Sunday is the ASSPT 125/85 km event from Dieppe (starts at
07.30), Its a lot of fun if you would like to know more just let me know .
However its a small club event so if say 52 UK riders turned with out notice
it could curse the club a hassle! .
Cheers Bob Seago
