In June I'll be going on a long weekend trip setting off from Alkmaar in the Netherlands and heading towards either Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg or France.
As most people know Holland has some nice twisty dike roads, but it’s pretty flat (apart from the very south of Limburg) so it would be great to ride to an area with a few more hills and windy roads :rockon:.
Why June, well it’s not the school summer hols yet, so it should be quiet enough and to be honest the need for a really good ride is beginning to get to me .
Firstly I would love to hear if anyone else would like to help make this a great trip and come along (and post dates when they can ride) , when we have picked a date then we can vote for the area’s we would like to ride around.
I was thinking about several area’s
Hartz, Germany
Sauerland, Germany
Eifel, Germany
Luxembourg
Ardennes, Belgium
Vosges (Vogezen), France
I would also appreciate any idea’s or information about rides in these areas. Of course if we could meet up with other forum members this would be an extra bonus :thumbup:.
In June I have a couple of free weekends, my preference is for the Fri 18,Sat 19 & Sun 20 June, I can also ride the weekend of Fri 4, Sat 5 and Sun 6 June, and at a push I can manage the weekend of Sat 12, Sun 13 & Mon 14 June (my eldest daughter is giving a performance with a group from her school in the local theatre on Friday 11th , which I don’t want to miss).
Hope to hear from anyone who wants to tag along, and looking forward to hearing any idea's, either about area's, routes or places to stay :thumbup:
