I was mooching around on the 'other' forum and came across this. The trip this year is to the Dolomites from June 12-15 2014 EUROPEAN MULTISTRADA MEETING Multistrada.net :: Log in I've wanted to sort out a decent trip to Europe for a while on the Multistrada but most of my other biking chums have commitments already this year. The other idea I had was to go to the Classic Endurance race at Spa on the 4,5 & 6 July, although this would probably involve camping with less good roads, but a shorter trip. Biker's Classics If anyone else is thinking of going to either give me a shout...
Nope, never done this. The Spa classic is a cracking weekend, and so is the road race at Chimay. Just be aware they are very popular, so you need to sort out accomodation / camping rather than just turning up and hoping, else you will be a fair distance away. It doesn't matter that they are close, you don't have to go the direct route :biggrin: We do loads of trips with the club I belong to (WVAM) anyway, and will be in France around that time for 11 days. I see your in Surrey. If you want a good bunch of people to ride with and do trips, you could do a lot worse than joining WVAM. By way of example, the trips I am already booked on for the next 6 months are roughly: March - shropshire 3 days April - shropshire 2 days May - Germany 4 days June - France 11 days July - having a rest ! August - Yorkshire 4 days There are also rideouts every weekend, and also mid week evenings. There are a good number of MTS riders in the club too :wink: (some of who are on here too) Send me a pm if you want details. Sorry, didn't mean this to be a sales pitch.:smile:
WW1 Centenary this year, so lots of good stuff going on in and around France if you have an interest . Avoid at peak dates if you don't like crowds though. Book early if your looking at travel, as no doubt crossings will be busier as a result.
yes mate I've done one and i am doing this years i have responded on the emm thread so you can see how I'm planning my getting there , fantastic people and great trip i had before and would highly recommend , when i went it was the dolomites thats why i couldn't resist going again
An excellent event that I have been attending for years (though not this year). Great bunch of Multi riders from all over the World including Australia, USA. Started out with the original MTS1000 but now dominated by 1200's. Great roads ridden at a good pace
Hope you enjoy it, and dont forget to take some pics and tell us all about it when you get back :wink:
A mate from the next village goes every year and clearly loves it. He says that the group are a great bunch and the rides are awesome. He keeps trying to enlist me but as a non M/S owner I resist.
Thanks Dave, I've talked to Carole and others a number of times over the last 2 or 3 years about doing the EMM's - always high on my hit list - but was never up to fitness (surgery on my leg every winter after a bike crash a few years back)............I'm past all the surgery now so this Spring will have no 'after effects'/recovery to deal with but I have now come to the realisation that big Euro trips are just not going to be possible, my leg just isn't up to it . I can and have managed 2 or 3 days or so away on the bike but that's in the UK with the comfort of knowing I can head for home any time. Have read the reports with envy each year after the annual event hoping next year would be the one......c'est la vis
Hi all, just registered for EMM 2014! Would be glad of some info on routes and stopovers, looking to leave early am on the 11th via Chunnel to Calais, I live in Essex near the Dartford bridge, maybe meet some of you and travel as a group? Cheers, Pete.
Just to say that there are a few rooms left on the EMM if anyone fancies joint us for the trip. (Also Sadly Dave can't make this one ) 2014 EUROPEAN MULTISTRADA MEETING More discussion here: Multistrada.net :: Log in
