Keithg24 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) One or two fools who ought to know better, having watched Top Gear, have asked me if I would be interested in running a Euro trip for novices next year.There is a poll I hope , so give me an idea on some numbers and I will see what can be done.It looks like camping (Groan!!) although if enough people want to B & B it, ever better. so probably a week to ten days, maybe two different places, probably in the Alps.

Korben Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Voted as interested. Would need to know when.Also interested in knowing about attitude taken towards riding? I am not a fast rider in any way and am worried about holding everyone up. I'm not a total wuss, but being a novice and careful rider I don't want to be pi**ing everyone off by holding everyone up.Really interested though as touring is going to play a large part in my biking life.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nigelf Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 If i were here ide be up for it !! Kiefy you might want to have a word with barry at Appleyards as hes run several big tours over the last few years and has got some good contacts for biker friendly hotels (well priced) For those who watched the top gear last night "the Stellios" is chalenging either up or down those hairpins.nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
