J.KYDD Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 A group of us are heading across for a 6-day road trip in early June. Here is the route we are planning on taking Dover - Calais Aalter, Belguim Darmstadt, Germany Stuttgart, Germany Besancon, France (La Tour De Scay) Buthiers Calais - Dover Joe Seddon knows some really good spots in Germany, around where we'll be going. What we are after is some local knowledge. Do any French/German riders know of any really good spots around our route which are worth checking out? Ideally natural Cheers, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
