Hello all!

Well, after a couple of business visits to the country, I must say that we set apart my initial idea of a meeting where we could "walk into the city". This could only be feasible having a hotel as a basis with no accommodation other than double rooms and no possibility to plant tents. Going a bit away to some apartment resort was a possibility, that could offer the chance for room sharing, but still no tent (or easy parking in most cases).

So, taking everything into account, we are working now in a place some km away from Andorra la Vella, into the mountains. Good news is that May is low season (less traffic) and bad news were that May is low season (a couple of inquiries made so far answered "sorry, closed for holidays"). More info to come in the next few weeks  :)

Looking forward to meet you all again,

Josep

Wonderful. 'Into the mountains' sounds also more appealing to me than 'on walking distance to the city', lol. Looking forward to your updates!

Hotelrooms is so cheap in Andorra that tent is unnescessary. What you paid for a tent spot in Sweden, you will get a room.
Also its meaning we can stay in the city without huge walking distances

I'm sure Jack will use his tent in the journey to and from VIM. I'm sure orgateam try to do the best. A bed is always a bed.. ;)

I fully understand why ubertourer asks.
This year all participants were asked to book the accommodation themselves.
Before my first VIM in Zams, I also tried to book in advance  ???

Hello friends!

Tomorrow, after some preliminary contacts, a colleague in the OrgaTeam and I are going in person to Andorra. If everything goes as expected, at the end of the day we'll have an official VIM20 meeting place!  :) Please keep in touch in the next few weeks for any further details.

For the moment I can say that we have set aside the idea of an "urban" meeting (no walking to shops possible) but a "mountain placed" instead. All for the sake of having different kinds of possible accommodation, including the compulsory Jack's (and anyone else's who so wish) tent place  ;)

I live only 100km away from Andorra, near to Mirepoix in the south of France, so this will be an easy one for me. However, the French Varadero group have their annual meeting in Belgium this time so that will be a long ride for me. Is Josep OK? Is he now King of Catalonia?

Just re read the Tarragona Vim ??.
Brought a tear to my eye, and my wallet.

I can now look back with a smile,

Sailing into Santander this time, heading over to Portugal and south to Gibraltar, a small piece of Great  Britain guarding the Mediterranean.
Then a few nights partying in Benidorm then hopefully Tamarit on a working Varadero before meeting you all in Andorra.
The way Home is yet to be decided but possibly up through France  Belgium and the Nederlands......!

You’ve got to love the Schengen Agreement, no Border controls to or from a lot of European countries. It’s a fantastic idea, people can move between member states without checks.
So glad Great Britain didn’t sign up.

I cross into the Nederlands 2x most weeks, it’s a work thing,  never any trouble in and out.

Please inform the Dutch authorities of this, I could do with a holiday sooner, it’s a great place to visit.

I can see no programme for VIM. What are we doing?

I hope that we are arriving on Friday 18th May and that we will have a welcome evening on that day.

I assume that we will have rides for Saturday and Sunday 19th and 20th May and that we will have a closing evening on Sunday.

I guess that we all go home on Friday 21st May after breakfast.

Is this correct?

My plan for VIM.
Arrive. Say a massive thank you to Gilles and Stewart for pulling this together.
Find room. Find bar. Say hello to old friends and new. Eat. Return to bar.
Saturday and Sunday wander off wherever looks warm and interesting. Bar visits in the evenings. Bit of piss taking no doubt.
Go home happy on Monday the 21st after breakfast.
Rule number 1: Do not bug the orga team, instead buy them drinks and ice creams.
Rule number 2: Try not to be an a-----e. (Too much!)

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me!  VCIF_ThumbUp

a new page with — VIM 20 general informations will be edited soon on the site  VCIF_ok with program and some more informations; the download page and routes will be update next week (I come back home and have some information on my computer if it's not dead  ;D ) I've already tried to propose some in the Route page
Thx Martyn, yes it's always difficult to organize such an event, and much more when you are far ... but we try to give the GPS point of the bar ASAP  ;D  ;D  ;D
Big thank you to Stewart who is working a lot in the shadow  VCIF_ok

I have done a lot of miles along the Catalan borders in this area, Ripol, La Molina, Sort, Tremp etc but always on smaller, lighter bikes, the lakes to the West are a good loop....Salas de Pallars, Llavorsi etc...my main suggestion is to make sure you have enough fuel for your journey, gas stations are sparse. The snow will decide much.....I have friends still skiing up there😱
