If you're not booked but interested please email me and I will and will add names in the usual way. Please say which group you wish to ride with. Once your name is on the list you can book your hotel ASAP but the ride will be capped at 12 (6 in each group). The George has a number of options including cancellable ones - you choose. Once you've told me you've booked your accommodation your place will be confirmed.
Note on Booking - Both the hotel website and booking.com have no twin rooms shown as available. I phoned the hotel and was told to add that I wanted a twin to my booking. You may also wish to call to confirm.
Bike storage - The hotel has a room for bikes and somewhere to charge them if required. We used this room (although not the charging) which was at the rear and locked by staff.
