6th. - The chaps depart from Victoria on November 5th and arrive in Bermuda on the Friday the 6th. Jack will be waiting to load gear for the short trip to the Swizzle Inn where the training gets under way. Hogs (thats motorcycles for the uninitiated) can be acquired at that time.

On Friday evening at 6:30 the team will assemble at Jack and Lisa's for the host dinner. This is an opportunity for you to meet your hosts, thank them for their hospitality and "buy" them a drink or five. This will be a good time for your hosts to get to know you before training gets underway in earnest. Appetizers and dinner will be served as well. Tom Woods will make a brief speak, or perhaps he won't!
