Join the Challenge

This year the renowned Team Dai Challenge will take us to the northern part of Laos. We will leave on Friday November 29 with the train from Vientiane to Muang Xay. On Monday December 2 we will arrive in Luang Prabang from where we will take the train back to Vientiane.

As we have reached the maximum number of participants, new registrations will go on a waiting list.

COST TO PARTICIPANTS: 350 USD (including a jersey)

If you are serious about joining the Challenge, please complete the form below to register. In case more than 25 people sign up, priority will be given to riders who are regular Team Dai riders (Tuesday/Thursday mornings and weekends).

Once registered, further details will be sent to the email address that you provide in the form below. Registering for the ride means:

  • actively contributing to the charity aspect of the Challenge and/or the organisation of the Challenge

  • paying the rider fee in full

  • participating in training rides

Please complete your registration for the TDC2024 by paying into Mette Boatman’s BCEL account. If you have a BCEL account you can transfer directly into her USD account using the QR code below. If you are transferring from a different bank, please let Mette know so she can provide you with the account number. The total rider fee has been established at $350 USD which includes one jersey, and the train rides VTE to Muang Xay and Luang Prabang to VTE. Make sure you order your jersey straight after paying the rider fee.

Note: you are only registered for the ride once you have paid the full amount to Mette Boatman! Once you filled out the form, pay for the ride and sent a confirmation of payment to Mette, via Slack or Whatssapp (+8562077906930).

Note (yes, another one, equally important): for the booking of train tickets we will need a copy of your passport. As you register send also a scan of your passport (PDF preferred) to Mette. Since we need to book the train in advance, all registrations have to be in by October 15. After that date we cannot guarantee a seat on the train, nor a jersey.

The fee includes all accomodation, three meals a day, basic drinks and snacks during the ride, support trucks/crew and a unique Team Dai Challenge 2024 jersey. Any surplus from the budget after the ride will be donated to the charity of the ride.

Sponsorship: if you need financial support in order to be able to participate in the Challenge, indicate this in the form in the ‘medications’ field. Please provide justification for sponsorship (can be in English or Lao). Sponsorship will be given on an individual basis based on approval by the Team Dai organizing committee.
