See you tomorrow Andy, it will be great if this weather holds up. Bring a picnic. I will go and see Ali Bike shop later and ask him how much he will let us have a couple of bikes for. I'm sure he would lend you a bike for tomorrow Baz if you fancy it.

A splendid idea
.
However what would happen if more than two CBFer's were in Calis at the same time (not unusual) and wanted to hire the bikes.

Sorry for putting a negative spanner in the works. :(

OK, I have been to see Ali at the bike shop on Baris Manco. He has agreed to sell us two nice used bikes for a total of 250 lira. For this price he will fully service both bikes today to make sure that they are in full working order, he is also going to replace tyres and brakes if required. Both bikes will be ready later this afternoon and so will be available if anyone would like to hire them for tomorrow's bike ride.

To contact Ali, it's 0537 726 75 41 or email Ali_orhon_48@hotmail.com. The cost is 10 lira, just ask to hire the 'Charity Bikes' Anyone coming on holiday can also reserve the bikes for all or any part of your stay, all the money raised on renting the bikes will go to charity.

So to the tricky bit, how we raise the 250 lira to buy the bikes? Ideas please.

H, yes that is a distinct possibility, we only have two bikes to hire but of course they live in a bike shop and Ali has plenty of bikes available for hire to avoid any disappointment

What would happen is that two more people could hire a bike from 3Cs than can today.

 George
            The CBF was formed ten years ago i believe over a few beers   :)

            Great idea and a good way to keep fit,and see places you wouldn't normally see.

            I hope to join the Calis Beach Cycle Club later this year  8)
