Shame you can't make it Si. It will be one to remember, but I'm sure you'll be more than made up with the euro tour.
Called and payed the deposits today for the third nights stay. I'll get them to email me a confirmation receipt and stick it on the first post as soon they send it.
How many DTG now? We need Barney to update us all! THought I had - the number of bikes going becomes a pain at fuel stops - makes sense to buddy up and pay at alternate stops. Also - please all start on Friday morning with full tank (or no more than 10 miles covered) - these bikes will do easy 130 miles between stops (prob. more like 140 - 150) but if 1 person panics at the start it mucks up any planning for stops (not sure there has been any so far mind!)
Harsh - but fair although the new 'no-zip' Gary is quicker than the 'ooh my zip might damage my paint so I better slow down' Gary...
Good route, I am very familiar with all of these roads. Work permitting I will try and tie in for a day....
There will be plenty of opportunities for that Al. I'm already set for this trip and ready to go. Just a shame it 6 months away.
