The Eifel - Test the water 2

The Eifel is a beautiful semi mountainous region of Germany close to the Mosel and also has the Nürburgring in there. It's a national park much akin to Snowdonia or the Cairngorms. (please have a look at the link).
It's about a 3 or 4 hour journey from Calais to get to.

So here's the water tester !

The German Site is holding their yearly meeting (much like our "Something for the Weekend" meets), there next year (2010) from May 13th to 16th (thurs through Sun).

Sadly it is the weekend before our BCII so there's a slight clash . . . . sorry to ask for the choose, perhaps you could do both

Question ?
Who - How many (if anyone) would be interested in making the trip to The Eifel and seeing what the other side has to offer ?

Remember we had 10 of the Dutch riders come over to one of our Welshpool meets and what an international flavour that gave the whole weekend too.
Is it time for us to spread our wings as a group and return the trip ? . . . . albeit to Germany and not Holland .

Any possible maybe's ????

Sorry for my stupidity Tel, but what is the BCII?

No problem fella

BCII = Bishops Castle 2 in May 2010 "Something for the Weekend" mate

Not flying well this one is it. .. .. .. .. .. .. The sound of silence is defening

Assumed you wanted positives only - but no thanks from me sorry

No's , Yes's and all comments invited please.

Thanks suzie.

Really, really, REALLY like the idea of this but it's just too early to commit right now. If it stays a possibility I'll check back when I am more aware of my/our plans.

Bit far for me with a bunch of strangers just yet, but definitely up for a more local run :-)

will have to wait till we know what my holidays are tel
but its near to the cyprus hols

Having been to the Eifel region before I can vouch for how nice the area is (notwithstanding the superb Nurburgring).

However, it's a little too early for me to say yay or nay. Plus the Euro/£ isn't to inviting at the moment. Makes Europe rather expensive.

Keep the thread going though, you never know what might happen.

I'm a definite no thanks Tel, will be doing BC (can't do both) - anywayz, ich habe immer noch kein Deutsch gelernt.

Hi Tel,

I have some time around that date as the 13th is a bank holiday here I can easily stretch it to a long weekend

Let me know if this one's gonna happen!

Cheers
Thomas

Your german is definitely better than my English

And riding a motorbike and drinking a beer is an international language
