As title really.
Already have 3 signed up to this, another 1 or 3 would be great. Even numbers work well for hotels
Highlights;
3 Dams
Sauerland
Salzburg
Grosslockner
Susten Pass
Furka Pass
Grimsel Pass
Great Escape sites Fussen
Black Forest
Moselle Valley
Rhine Valley
Eiffel Hills
200 miles a day ish, rolling average of 40mph which means legal speeds on the twisty bits.
On the schlepp days I tend to bumble at about 60mph. Arrive way less frazzled.
A couple of 2 night stays to allow a circuit of Grosslockner and Swiss passes for example
Basic but decent hotels, with a smattering of IHG ones I can get a deal on with work. Salzburg and Trier.
Day 1 is a schlepp to Soest.
Day 13 is a schlepp to Coast.
Other than that its ;
70 pc Excellent roads
20 pc Epic Roads
9 pc Fuck me this is sensational roads
1 pc hmm, bit dull this.
I’ll do all the route planning and hotels etc, routing adjustable within reason to visit something of particular interest to an individual
I know all these routes very well, it’s a great trip with no ‘Stelvio’ type passes, which I personally don’t like.
It’s generally 50mph sweeping bend type roads, with the passes thrown in.
Feel free to comment / express interest.
I’d like to get the attendance wrapped up by end of January, with a view to a weekend trip in April May so folk can meet and finalise routes etc.
Anyway, if you’ve ever wanted to do a Europe trip but never felt comfortable with it, or you’re an old hand, you’d be v welcome; I keep things simple, insert petrol, ride, eat, tell each other how epic we are, sleep , repeat.
Tend to get going at around 0900, with the intent of being in hotel by 1700, occasionally, (twice) up to say 2100.
Oh bikes - variety so far, Tiger 900, Guzzi v85, anything that’ll do 60mph and 200 miles a day is fine
I should add that one attendee has never ridden in mainland Europe before, mileages have been adjusted to suit this, so this would be fine for someone similar.
