    This from Hattara:

    While Ali already mentioned Paris in the make your money-topic, I'd like to add a get-your-rocks-off remark. We're going to have a killer summer event for you guys in July. It's going to be the first ever finnish championships and also the first french ones on home soil. The well-lubed Paris organisation has big plans for a small event. Friday, arrival party, will melt into saturday, where a buffet breakfast will be served in a beautiful park with a viea to the Eiffel-tower. Then we'll have the classic Fixed Rookies with a Paris twist held by me and Fish. The piece de resistance will be a roundabout sprint with six lanes of traffic! After an 'apero' which you can enjoy either french or finnish style. If you chose the one that leaves you still standing, it's time to move on to an all city alleycat and see how we do it here.. The mainrace on sunday, marshalled by the ruling french champion and founder of one of the fastest messenger companies in Paris, will left your legs burning and a smile on your face. Everybody can race as there will be categories for best out of towner as well. But since there is two national titles at stake, you'll probably see Jboule and me moving faster then ever before :D IT'S A NO-BRAINER, COME TO PARIS!!!!

    Let's ride there. London to Dover in a lazy days pedalling, boozy ferry and Calais b'n'b, down to gay Paris in a jiffy (or an ambulance). Who's upferritt?

    Having ridden to both Dover & Newhaven, I strongly suggest that you ride to Newhaven.

    It's shorter, and it's easier to find a straight route to Newhaven. Dieppe to Paris is likewise a lot shorter than Calais - Paris.

    This just in!

    The finnish goverment, our long time collaborator, has offered us 1(one) Finnish citizenship to award to all our guests for the French and Finnish championships. This amazing honor will be determined by the mainrace on sunday. Since we already have one European champion(Ilona in -97) we can't really award the funniest or most beautiful courier - it can only be the fastest one. With your passport, you will automatically qualify to be the first ever finnish champion. Wau, this is great news! But it's a double ended sword this one. On one hand, we don't risk bancrupcy as many countries do at these times, since we lost all our banks already in the mid-nineties when we devalued our currency and turned the other cheek to the IMF. But life is hard in Finland, you can hardly travel to messenger events, and when you do, the cheaper prices for alcohol usually sneak up on you, and you end up not remembering anything afterwards. But we have a lot of nature to get out of the rat-race and remember you're not only thighs and calves and your indexfinger for your radio, you also have a big heart. I personally think it's a good choice to Finnish, but make sure you don't have too much to lose(As saturday night will be hard as the race on sunday..) Think wisely, the offer is on the table. - We also accept dual-citizenship, especially if your swiss ;)
