Quick pic I wanted to share after an early morning ride yesterday. The dyke along the river Lek, beautiful stretch of road, but you have to leave early in order to not get stuck behind all the cyclists, cagers and fellow bikers... JB Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Really sorry to hear about Geoff! As much as I'd love to join, it's too far for me to combine with work & family obligations. I'd just received a quote from a campsite in the Ardennes, but we can leave that for 2019. JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, Yes, the Netherlands and/or Ardennes have been mentioned. The Ardennes is in the lead so far. I've offered to go and sort a location, provided we've all decided that Ardennes is the place. I'd suggest the village of LA Roche en Ardennes. There's several campsites near the...

I'm still up to do the 2018 in the Ardennes if the group is interested. If so, let me know and I'll spend a weekend in April scouting locations and will report back. JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone, It was great to see all of you (well, most of you :-) ) again at the National this year! We floated the idea of a National on the continent, and I'm starting to look into locations. 2 locations come to mind, and I wanted to get some feedback. Both locations have a cool...

Hey RC, I'm thinking of Utrechtse Heuvelrug or the Veluwe. Great roads there, and should be plenty of campsites. JB

Made it home, got a little rain, but made it home mostly dry. The tent is soaked through and will need some time to dry. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces, and a couple of new ones as well! I'll start looking around for a campsite in the Netherlands for next year! JB Sent from my...

If you're still some way between Harwich & Norwich, I'm sure I can find my way (or rather, Garmin can). ;-) JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Bad news for sure, but at least I can leave the loperamide at home now [emoji23] 117 seems doable, depends on how has the weather will be Saturday. As I'm riding up from Harwich, I can always swing by Basildon Friday morning for a cuppa if you're around... JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus...

Sorry to hear that Soho! I hope your mom gets better soon! On a different note, is anyone bringing awning or something? The weather predictions are pretty dismal, so if we have some shelter there that would be awesome! All I have is my trusty Khyam Biker tent, and that barely fits 2 people...

I'll be organizing the "is my jacket really waterproof" ride... 30 minutes at 60mph to see if your gear lives up to the tag it came with from the store ;-) It may be more than 30 minutes if I can't get my Garmin to behave... JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Is it ever? I just hope it'll be dry-ish Sunday morning. I have a 10am ferry from Harwich I need to make... JB Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Ok, ferry is booked! I'll arrive early Friday morning and leave early Sunday morning (ferry home sails at 10am). Looking forward to seeing everyone again, and having some curry wurst :-) JB

Really sorry to hear that Craig, Many thanks for passing the info, and please pass our condolences to Derek and his family. JB Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

That too! Although I'll brew my own tea :-) Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
