Hi Richard I think your going to have to set the date you need and the rest of us need to work towards it. I am seeing Foo Fighters on the 19th June and don't want to miss it either...
Looking at the posts it does not seem possible to please everyone...It is going to be a small group but should still be good fun!

There, we have a Doodle CalendarHowever i am very, very tempted by the Mega. Been reading about for many years, it looks fantastic and terrifying at the same time. Registrations are open and spaces are still available. Anyone here done it?

Happy do anything as long as it's mountain biking....... Just want to sort it out so I can book my two weeks biking / sailing in Greece. But not the Mega.... Which will be carnage Laurent

you guys and your different requirements. I ain't going in June; end of. July looks best Laurent and I and Tel can make first week of July but Dandy can't Anyone else? I'm going to have to get cracking soon on booking the chalet so anyone out there wavering and not yet posted here needs to commit soon. If we can't get seven of us from here we may need to start scouting around other friends/family/work colleagues etc. to make up the numbers so start thinking about who you would (or wouldn't) want to spend a week riding with. It's your shout Richard, what do you want to do? If we are taking your car it really sits with you, really keen to sort this out so I can book my Greece holiday. Happy to meet up for a beer as soon as I am back from India if this helps.

Aiiigghttt dawgs, listen up.
After a long and painful process the only realistic dates that I can do are the week of 4th to 11th July.
I think there's four of us so far:
- me - Terry - Terry's brother-in-law - my mate from work, Kris
I'm in the process of booking the chalet but we ideally need seven to make the chalet work. Me, Terry and brother in law are driving in my car. Kris is making his own way from Essex.
Does anyone want to join us?

Count me in, cant confirm Brother in Law as he has just started a new job and has no time for training. Your previous email 19th December said that Laurent could do the first week in July as well. Must be other on the DOAMB site that fancy a week in the sun and mountain bikes.
I might be looking to go back out in August as well as part of my year out travelling!

Any suggestions for an alternative? Good stuff, and I can do some driving if you want? Any thoughts about chalet 1080? We'll have to move quick I'm negotiating a discount but £250 each isn't bad for a week in a luxury chalet with our own bedroom each. Sleeps up to 12 so we can ask other people, even dare I say it here, some of the Moles?

Muddy, can you make your mate Kris register here so i can text him too? Great team effort on getting this sorted guys. Money is on its way. The good news about taking this long to arrange is that there's now only 16 (and a half) weeks to go! So that's a chalet for 12 with four bedrooms and there's four of us going so far. Anyone else on here want to join us for a cheap self-catered week in Morzine/Les Gets before I offer it out wider to my other cycling contacts? Here's a reminder from last year of the great riding available there

One good thing about having somewhere that sleeps 12 is that fishy won't be forced to tears again when his pillow goes missing after a night on the piss on his own lol

Just thought I would say...
13 and a half weeks to go! (We leave the evening of 3rd July)
and there's still plenty of space in the chalet if you have been humming and hah-ing about joining us. Give me a shout if you want to know more.
