    Just a quick question regarding registration for 2014. Is the registration that opens on Wednesday the stage where I pay the €495 or is that in July when it reopens?
    I might have to bring forward my little scheme to relieve a small rural post office of the pension money on a Friday in order to pay for this.

    Hi Oryx, how much extra would Nirvana cost say on an entry of €450?

    Forget Nirvana - pay way over the odds - usually 100/150 stg more for the spot and then u have to get hotel and they are massively overpriced.

    Last year it took a good week or more to sell out and usually slots become available in Dec/Jan again.

    That's not to say it wont sell out fast this year as Jackyback said.

    Just organize it that u are there at 9am to register or get someone to do it for u.

    Then go and book the Ibis for 50/60 euros a night - 2 mins from Intercontinental hotel.

    Can anyone tell me how they transport bikes?
    Will the airline do it?
    Or do you use a bike service for this.
    Thanks

    Airlines will do it for about €50 each way, and you need a bike box to put it in which will cost you about €50 to rent (unless you can get your hands on one).

    Alternatively there are companies that ship bikes for about €170-200. shipmytribike.com

    The shipment companies usually want the bike boxed too so factor in that cost.

    Are the airlines safe for transporting bikes e.g. missing, damaged etc?
    Where can you rent bike boxes?
    Thanks
