  7. The Ardennes and Luxembourg are great accessible biking destinations for a long weekend over the channel.

  8. This is great! Never done a solo trip to Europe but now tempted.

    Any chance you can let us have your gpx route, hotels and any POIs.
     
  9. Great write up.
    Just back from France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the fantastic Black Forest. 5 of us this time but not sure they want to do Europe next year so may plan a solo too.

    well done for your trip! Great pics

  10. How about this for a daft idea. A coordinated Billy No Mates tour. An x amount of days trip away, where each participant is spaced one day apart. So you never actually meet, but all do exactly the same trip, including route, stop overs etc.

  11. chalked up the 420 odd miles in one day to get home..dodged all but a few spits of rain..Sat at home and it is bucketing. I shall do more of a write up later. Final pick is end of the twistys and on to the motorway

    Anyone used these peeps?
    2 weeks riding from uk to Lake Como & back and want to go back with the Pani. So came across the above. Any thoughts?
    Mods: might be wrong place to put this?
     
  13. Myself and 2 mates booked with Tony in Sept 2019 to do the trip in May ‘20. But as we all know 2020 didn’t happen he refunded all our money. Can’t say fairer than that. We tried to book again in 2021 but it was complicated because of Brexit and would have needed to export and import bike between countries. Hopefully that has all been sorted now.
    Sorry for this as it doesn’t really answer your question ‍♂️ other than we couldn’t fault the service we got if that makes sense

  14. We've used them a few times, twice for Italy and once for Spain.

    excellent service, worked really well. I thought brexit had put a spanner in the works with transporting bikes but maybe that's sorted.

    Get in contact with them, they're good lads to deal with

  15. Will email them today.
    Did you fly over and get to bike drop off place easily?
     
  16. Let us know some idea of price please?

  18. Its OK if you travel with the bike. (though I have read that different ports of entry and customs officers may interpret the rules different ways..
    if you use a transport company….such as eurobiketrans.co.uk then it looks like a carnet is required.
     
  19. Have I missed something? Is this a new thread?
