Forum International Trip

To be fair it was 7 years ago. Brittany has a lot going for it. Spent many a trip covering vast mileages just riding from base to base & not really enjoying scenery & what the surroundings have to offer. Would like a trip where one is able to bob bob bob about 'BOB' & not spend all day getting a numb bum

 

Good what? There are many options, only a few mentionable!

No camping for me though!

 

Hi Steve, just for your info, me and a couple of pals are using hotels (basic) are on our Italian Job next week. All hotels are booked and paid for and work out on average at 20€ per person, per night - including breakfast.

All booked on the phone, whilst drinking beer in our local bar. Love this technological era.

That said: If I can be of any help should you decide coming into, or through Germany!?
There are German homepages for biker-hotels, like:

I'd gladly be your translator during the planning, should you need one placing calls and such
Lots of (humorless) people speak English though as well...

June to August is quite hot the last couple of years. There are some really wet days as well. Like yesterday:
We had rain for 8 hours non-stop.
But hot and humid climate prevails during summer.
My favorite months are May and September & October. The Mosel and Rhein rivervalleys are beautiful during fall and spring and it is not that hot for biking.

Cheers, Daniel

 

I'm going to vote for the Hartz
Been to France a few time but never Germany.
Though if I'm outvoted then I'll still go.

 

Sounds good to me! I've stayed about 10 miles from here in Zell Kaimt - fantastic area.
I would use the tunnel and ride there through Belgium - possible meet up on way.

 

Both of those look good
Reading the room rates for the Bikerhotel it say's you can't book a single room for one night on a weekend,just something to watch out for.

 

The Harz is really interesting as it was the area of the old East German border area. Plus the villages are awesomely beautiful and quaint.

 

if i remember correctly Colditz is about 125 miles from the Harz mountains,they do guided tours. unfortunately i won't even manage a GP next year as I've just been informed we are going a big family holiday next year with our daughter and her partner and our 2 grandkids i'll be thinking about you guys when I'm pulling my hair out

 

Happy with suggestions, I would go through Chunnel aswell

 

Sounds about the right sort of time to me, avoids the school holidays as well.

 

September could be a nice month for Germany

 

Would love to go to Germany [no camping for me] NEVER been so love to see colditz,eagles nest etc and at this stage of my life might not get another chance so looking forward to it and with other members experience will make it easier.

 

From a personal point of view we don't tend to have any work during june/july so that would be good but if it clashes with the GMU then will be happy anytime [so long as I go ] and definitely would want to ride/meet up with others for the ride over.
