| Ideas for this Summer? |
| Posted Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:03 am by francois |
 |
I finally picked up reporting on our LAST year's trip again, and have some great ride reports to share. Maybe ideas for YOU on where to go this year?
When you do, share your ride reports with us, we're always curious to see what roads you have found !

| Riding the Alps again |
| Posted Wed Sep 09, 2009 11:26 am by francois |
|
You haven't seen much activity here lately, have you? It is the problem of a 'riding company'. What we like doing best is, errrmm, quite.... riding!!
And then there is little time for PC work.
These past 8 weeks we've been riding the Alps. We've (re)done a lot of our familiar French alpine passes, but also a bunch of new ones in Switzerland and Italy.
There will be many ride reports and additions to the website and forum... later! We still have a trip to the UK planned and some other activities away from the keyboard.
Here's one of the passes we did these past week: Splugen Pass in Switzerland, with the Italian border at the top!

Last weekend I joined the Schipper Toer 2009, the yearly riding tour organized by Riding School Pé and Marieke Schipper, for which I am the webmaster and photographer.
And of course I love to go on riding tours....... You can see my first photo report here.

| Tulips and Hay |
| Posted Wed Apr 15, 2009 3:35 pm by francois |
|
My favorite smell, fresh hay and freshly mowed meadows.
It is that time of year again... when you have a few hours to spare, just hop on the bike and RIDE !!
Doesn't matter where to. I took the "long way 'round" today for an errand in Amsterdam. Spotted tulips, lambs and cows along the way.
Life is good!

| Christmas in Prague |
| Posted Wed Dec 31, 2008 8:01 pm by francois |
|
This Christmas we spent in Prague and we were taken away with its beauty, it's historic buildings, but also by the nice Czech countryside and (daytime) motorbike-friendly roads... although fellow traffic participants are not as disciplined and skilled as we are used to up north......
Prague could be a nice detour for a motorbike tour to Vienna !

| Back in the Alps !!! |
| Posted Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:26 am by francois |
|
After many months of private trouble, a canceled vacation and a thumb that was hurt pretty badly, we're finally back to where we left off 7 weeks ago: riding in the Alps!
You can follow our trips and SEE them in the Francois' Trips Forum !
Maybe the pictures can 'lure' you into coming over and ride those same roads, with our without us, one day....... it's worth all the cost and trouble, believe me !

| Our one trip |
| Posted Sun Aug 17, 2008 11:08 am by francois |
|
Sadly, due to the illness and subsequent passing of my mother, we did not get to stay long in France this Summer. 2 days, actually ! We did get a little ride in on the 16th, and you can read the report here !
We'll be heading back in September, to pick up the trailer and the bike and hopefully to get some of the preparatory work done that we planned all along... set out some additional routes and scout good places !
We'll be back !!!!!!

| Some stuff to see....... |
| Posted Wed May 07, 2008 7:36 pm by francois |

I don't post here that often, but there ARE some new threads in the 'trips' forum... just head on over.
We've been to Romania, and I have done a few motor trips in Holland.....
Apart from that I am working on a brandnew website which will be called Motor Touring News.. or something similar. It will be a free site with LOTS of links and regular news concerning (mostly) European motorbike things, trips, tours, places and info.....
STAY TUNED for MORE!!

| News from the front........ |
| Posted Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:28 pm by francois |

To all those visiting my 'original' EuropeRides website (at www.EuropeRides.com) ..... it may seem that nothing is happening there....
Which is true - for that particular website - .
Due to my 'other' business lagging behind in 2007 and having to spend more time on it trying to get some income going there, I have not updated the EuropeRides site much.
Another reason is that we've been RIDING a lot. See our main trip to France and Italy last Summer, followed by 3 weeks in the States (check out the trip reports on the forum, below).
Since maintaining a website is a LOT of work, especially a 'classic' one where I have to update every page, I am now building a new site which should be easier to update. SHOULD.... because already I've found quite a number of boo-boo's. Hey, this IS computer stuff..... almost a guarantee for SNAFU's!
THIS will be the NEW WEBSITE in future !
Anyway, there IS most CERTAINLY progress in the 'motoring business' and I'll try and update things more often from now on.
Some quick news:
- many more addresses for lodging and renting available now
- tour options added for the Dolomites
- tour options added for South of France
- some partners taken off, because they too ran into problems of time, and I only want to keep the REAL partners showing here. I hope they'll be back !
- more 'print' stuff available and working hard on publishing a series of travel BOOKS for you
- petrol prices have gone through the roof once more, and the bad dollar is not helping any either. I am still confident that we can work out great tours, and value for money is guaranteed as before.
