Are you ready for the 2024 COCC bicycle ride from St Tropez to Monaco? We will be setting off from the Presqu'île de Saint Tropez at about 8am and heading towards Italy, past Saint Raphael over the Esterels, past Cannes, Antibes for a quick stop in Nice, and then on to Monaco to the finishing line at Slammers.
The team at Slammers will be waiting for the riders, their families, and friends to serve drinks and have organised quite a line-up of bands and music to get the party started. Chilli No. 5 will also be ready with gourmet hot dogs, meat & vegan, big burgers, meat & vegan, BBQ wings, fries & sides for anyone hungry after the 130km ride. Chilli No. 5 will be offering a range of mild to very hot chilli sauces to try for anyone who likes some spice.
The road will be closed for a classic Slammers street party so you will need to buy tickets in advance for the party, including street food, music and a spring night of fun. Remember, proceeds from the tickets will go to, as every year, to the Princess Charlene Foundation, which promotes awareness of the dangers of drowning across the world.
To buy tickets, please e-mail us, contact Damian and the social media team through Instagram, or pick up your tickets from Terry & Lisa at Slammers. There have been 100+ tickets sold, so please get in touch with us for tickets if you have not already to avoid any disappointment on the night. Riders have already got party tickets included. See you there.
Final reminder - we are placing the kit order for this years ride on Wednesday 20th March - if you want to take part and have not yet notified us of your kit size please reply ASAP.
Regards
Damian
Dear All
Urgent reminder we need all participants for this years ride to confirm their kit size by email to me or Terry as soon as possible as we will need to place the final kit order in the next 10 days.
We can arrange completion of actual application forms at a later date but if we don’t have your kit sizes then we cannot guarantee that kit will be available.
Please get back to us ASAP

As you know I have been helping these guys with some logistics for their ride which is arriving in Monaco on Tuesday 5th March.
They plan to arrive at the Place du Palais at 16h on 5th March to meet the Boss and have asked if any of the COCC or other local riders would like to ride in with them either from Cap D’Ail or Nice Rugby stadium.
If anyone is interested in riding any part of the final route with them please get in touch with Terry Torrison directly to get times for leaving Monaco to ride out there or times to be at nice rugby club for depart back to Monaco.

They will be going to Slammers at around17h for a well deserved beer or two after the finish and would be great to give them a proper Slammers welcome.
