I was thinking of going on a long weekend ride sometime in August and I was wondering if anyone else wanted to come along.
I was thinking of riding there on the Friday, riding a nice tour on the Saturday and riding a nice route back on the Sunday. This will of course mean costs for meals and 2 nights in a cheap hotel/hostel.
Well Holland is as flat as a pancake so I wanted to go somewhere with some real hills, I had a couple of ideas for location:
1) Luxembourg.
2) Germany, Harz region.
3) Germany, Eifel region.
4) Belgium, Ardennes.
I have put these in my order of preference but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any other great idea's.
I can definately ride on one of the following weekends:
1) 7 - 9 August,
2) 21 - 23 August
3) 28 - 30 August.
4) and I could possibly do 31 july - 2 August at a crunch.
Sorry that it's all around the august holiday period but I'm going to be in the UK in July.
Let me know if you're interested. Let me know your location preference (put the above numbers 1-4 in order of preference) . Let me know the dates you can make it ranging from a "definately yes" or "yes", to a "'definately No" or "No" with a "don't know" or "?"
I'm also open to other suggestions, possible locations, places to stay, routes to ride etc.
In the first place the voting is open to people living in the Netherlands and Belgium (and also their partners) but any suggestions or helpful comments from other riders are welcome. When we choose the location any riders from other countries are more than welcome to join us :thumbup:.
The date of the ride will be judged on the most number of "yes's" followed by "?'s" the location will be judged by adding the position of each location (for the people attending the ride) and the lowest number wins
I think this way we can get a reasonably democratic decision, but it still remains that you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Voting closes next Friday 19 june at midnight. I hope a few more people want to go otherwise I'll be riding alone
If you don't want to post in this thread you can also send me a PM (in English or Dutch).
OK I'll shut my mouth now and let your votes do the talking :thumbup:
