This year's ride took to us through Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland. There were six
in the party initially and we met a friend from last year who had wintered in Spain and biked back to meet up
in Colmar, France.
The ride took us just over a week from UK and back covering approx 2,000 miles.
First night was spent near Baden-Baden in a fantastic hotel overlooking the Rhine valley and fields of grape vines
- Hotel Rebenhof see photos.
Second and third nights were spent in Fluelen near lake Lucerne, Switzerland.
After riding the alpine passes of Furka, Susten and Grimsel the forth night was in Belfort, France.
A couple of days we spent in Les Vosges, France spending the fifth night in Colmar.
Finallly we returned via the Nurburgring spending our last night in Prum, Germany.
The weather was fantastic the whole time as you can see from the photos
