Hi Twin-Riders all over the World :-)
Even though only those AT-Bikers in central Europe can participate,
I announce the next AT-Event on the XRV-List.
Due to a bank holiday in Germany (Re-Union of East and West), Thursday
the 3rd of October 1996 will be a day that starts a 4 days time of being
free to do what you like.
Never having enough of biking, I will offer the following:
=== Start of Program ========================================
A a r d v a r k s i n t h e S n o w (TM)
Day-1 Thursday, 3rd of October 1996
*** Approaching the Lake ***
This day is foerseen for all participants to get to my home's
location. In the evening we will do a very small trip, that
leads us via a wood-way to a nice scenic view. When back, we
will have a pizza, some beer and the ability to talk about
our bikes and ... :-)
Day-2 Friday, 4th of October 1996
*** Discovering the Alpes ***
After a good breakfast we will take-off into direction
Davos(CH). From there, the exiting part of our tour will
start. Via Fluela-, Ofenpass we will get to the Stilfser
Joch. The later is a very famous place for Bikers. Those
on the top watch those driving up-hill and those Toppers
tell you afterwards how crazy you have droven. Then our
way will lead us to Bormio, where we try to find a way
to Bormio 3000. A friend of mine told me, that this way
should be very ugly. Just the right thing for an aardvark!
Oh, I must explain: an aardvark is an Enduro ;-). Bikers
in the newsgroup de.rec.motorrad like to use this expres-
sion. Okay, in the evening we will have an eye on those
houses, that will offer a room for more or less money.
Estimated time of Biking (ETB) is 6-7 hours !!!
Day-3 Saturday, 5th of October 1996
*** Visiting the highest populated village in the Alpes ***
After a short visit of Livigno (toll-free area) - before
noon - we will drive to the Bernina, climb the Pso. del
Maloya to get to Chiavenna. From there the Spluegenpass
will lead us to the area were we can visit the highest
permanently populated village in the Alpes (Jul). After-
wards we leave the upper mountain area through the Via
Mala and on normal roads we get back to the Lake of Kon-
stanz. Again we will have something to eat and drink at
my home or in Meersburg. And it is good practice to have
a beer before going to sleep.
ETB is 7-8 hours !!!
Day-4 Sunday, 6th of October 1996
*** Rolling home ***
Breakfast with fresh bread from our Sunday-Bakery.
The last discussions about tires, sprokets, changing
the trip-master and Gremlins and then most of you must
ride home :-((
=== End of Program ==========================================
Anyone, who owns an AT or knows somebody owning one, is en-
couraged to join the trip as far as he has time and is able
to get to my place without having too much circumstances :-))
Friends with an Enduro-Like bikes are also welcome :-) :-)
To make it clear:
- you can stay at my home on the nights
Thu->Fri and
Sat-Sun !!!
If you like to come:
- order detailed information in
german or
english !!
Greetings from the Lake
