Does anyone fancy a 2/3 day trip to Black Forest?

Right, the 2/3 day thing is out of the window now! Seeing as i no longer have a girlfriend to please i can do a whole week , hadnt even thought about the Ardennes so will look into that.

Ian, you are not funny! but i do have a very nice new clutch cable now, and if you are able to suggest any good route Tim that would be good!

Think it'll be August before I can afford a whole week. Need at least a couple of pay days. Any idea on the cost?

listen chaps... if this is an open thing and in August then i am interested. But would need to be early Aug for me.

Keep me updated.... Would be first Euro trip for me and as i said earlier i have plans to meet up with friends on the way back over the other side of France so would be off over there for the later half of the trip.



a very basic idea of a route i was looking at last night after reading about the black forrest
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=50.903033,1.955566&daddr =namur+to:luxembourg+to:L460%2FLauterbadstra%C3%9F e+to:basel+to:dijon+to:tours+to:le+mans+to:rouen+t o940&geocode=%3B%3B%3BFZhU4wIdKoeAAA%3B%3B%3B%3B %3B%3BFXA6BwMdDqwYAA&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&s z=6&dirflg=ht&doflg=ptm&sll=49.15297,4.328613&sspn =6.941625,19.775391&ie=UTF8&z=6

obviously the points from d/e are for my visits.

Looks good, i really need to sit down and work something out aswell including where to stop etc. so whos interested? Just TazDaz and DaveP?

I'd love to, but unfortunately have had to abandon all plans to get into Europe this year (and next year looks like the TT will take priority).

Feel free to use any of the maps/planning in the thread I started in this section if it's helpful in anyway.

Right i have the week starting the 3rd August off, could push for abit longer if needed. That any good for anyone?

Definitely no good for me. The org AR is the 1st and 2nd of Aug and I've got a bike academy thing at Silverstone on the 10th.

Come to think of it, I may have to withdraw my interest. I bought leathers so not sure if the next 2-3 paydays will leave me with enough money...I might have enough, but don't want to take the chance then have to back out last minute...better to work it the other way around and if I do have enough tag along sort of thing!

I would be intrested in getting together and organising something? I am in the Isle of Man funnily enough over in the UK in 2 weeks with a mate meeting up with some of the SV clan for a ride down in the Yorkshire somewhere, and DaveP i am in warrington saturday morning lol. (I lived in Great Sankey and Callands for 16 years).

Anyway yeah once i get back from this trip i'd be intrested in looking at something futher abroad, i gotta avoid dates for TT and Manx Grand Prix over here though as i must work! and also wanna see as much of the racing as i can.

Arcef do you have msn/facebook?

Once you know roughly where/how long your going I'd be happy to throw in a few suggestions to help you along your way.

Right i need some help, i keep opening up google maps and going errrrrrr that's a nice road..........oh so is that!. but when it comes to it i ahve no idea where to start. How many miles should i aim for per day? 200? or is that pushing it? Has anyone used one of the tour companies? ill probably have more questions soon!

Cheers
