i,m hoping to do some euro touring, dates are pretty much set, cos i will be in germany for my birthday, the plan was originally to ride some highly recommended roads in germany, france etc,,,,,,,but, now i see the easy distance,,,,,,,,,,,,,i,m going to make an effort to ride Silvretta Hochalpstrasse, Nauders pass, Fluela pass, the Via Alpsu,Furkapass,Grimsel pass, Jaun pass, and routes thro Eifel and Blackforest, this will take me ( intentionally) through 9 countries in 8 days, but only a total of about 1750 miles from Calais and back, i've already had to provisionally book accomodation cos of the high demand in the Alps, but happy to meet up anyone en route or woteva, my provisional dates are from tunnel fri 21st june, returning Sunday 30th, meaning i miss the tomfoolery in derbyshire, but cant be helped, i dont want to ride long distances, just enjoy the roads, any input welcome
