    Maybe I'm mistaken so, maybe you can only register on the day itself. In my case I was regestered from a prior year so maybe that was it!

    It's strightforward anyway, just keep on eye on the web for announcements of when the reg opens and be prepared to get in early to get your place.

    You don't need med certs or anything like that at the time, just choose the non-licence category and click through to choose the event(s). You should receive an e-mail with confirmation of your reg, and they complie a reg listing that is updated, semi-regularly, and you can check that a bit after to make sure.

    Epic thread and epic adventure.

    What tour companies can you go with on the Marmotte as a matter of interest? And would be interested to know what the total cost was for participants, roughly like, door to door.

    I went with Frenchcycling holidays.co.uk.

    The only cost not included is flights from Dublin to Lyon which you can look up on the aerlingus website.

    Thanks. Yeah, I've read through a lot more of the thread now and the links and am getting a better picture :)

    One thing that would be of importance to me would be bike transport from Ireland - as in a company taking charge of that and preferably carrying my bike in a van or truck. That's really what I'd want from a tour operator set up. I'm just paranoid about very cheap airlines carrying very expensive bikes :(.

    These guys will transport your bike.

    I've always brought my bike on the plane and I've never had any problems. A good Bike box is essential (not a soft shell bag)

    Nice one thanks.
    Yeah I've done a couple of events abroad but I've always brought my training bike in a hard shell box and left my good bike at home. Last time the hard case came back with a dirty big hole and crack in it. Thankfully the bike was ok, but I just wouldn't dare (personally) risk my good bike. I've heard too many stories from musician and cyclist friends of opening flight cases to jaws dropping and hearts sinking.

    If I couldn't get someone to transport then I'd do it myself to be honest and drive, or of course take my sh1t (but still very good) bike :).
    There would be a gang of us going so could work out well for one or preferably two members to drive over in a van with the bikes.
