Eifel weather

Just took a peek at the long range weather forecast for the region..... looks like I'll be needing those waterproofs then!

Tis The Eifel and a mountainous area . . . . carries it's own weather system sadly . . .. but we can live in hope that this time the forcast is incorrect

Come on Tel. Every time we have a Thundercat trip to Germany it rains.

Seriously though, I hope you do have good weather and a good trip.

Sadly that's true. But we gotta be lucky sometime you would hope huh ?

Here's wishing for plenty of on our trip.

Well, I'm pretty much ready to roll now. I have to do it now because I am off to Germany on business tomorrow, back Tuesday night - working Wednesday until around 4pm, then dash home, mount bike and leave. I have a surprising amount of space left in my panniers - either they're bigger than I remember or I've left out something major....

Got a bargain on European recovery too - I'm unlikely to do this again in a hurry (new baby and all) so looked for single trip cover. Found a deal for £22 covering the days we're away, covered by Axa through an agent. Here's hoping I won't need it but it's nice to have the back-up.

Here's praying for some

Think we should all be pretty much ready to roll now Really looking forward to it now.

Having great fun watching all the last minute "panic" posting and meeting up to get there posts on the german thundercat site.

Hmm, got yer shoes in the panniers ? They're usually the space munchers.

Germany twice huh ? Which part you going to be in for the business trip ?

Ride safe chaps!!!


Hope the weathers great and you have loads of fun xx

Hamburg tomorrow.

BTW, what's the link for the German site? Might pop over and test my schoolboy German.

Hope the weather does play ball for you and you all have a great time.

Space in the paniers usually does mean something left out [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] or you have packed well!

Obay the rulez and enjoy the German roads.

Looking forward to the write-up and pics when you get back.

Ride safe guys, enjoy

Ride safe - i am looking forward to meet you

By the way we ordered a lot of rain so you don't have to test new conditions

Never mind the Eifel weather it is snowing here!!!

Looking forward to it.....weather or not.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Haven't learned any lingo so I'll just need to point, speak slower and shout louder with an German twang.

Toni - can you stick a towel down with my name on it in the pub please.

Better start packing I suppose....now where is that passport.

Cheers

Have a great time & ride safe guys. Paul.

OK, so we might stay a little dryer than I thought...

Today's the day! I still have to collect my GB-badged number plate from Halfords after they screwed the order up, twice.... numpties. Hopefully will get that today, fix it and then go. There's still an alarming amount of space in my panniers, but then the weather looks a little colder that I was planning so I might chuck in a jumper!

Don't let Halfrauds drill it for you- had the same problem couple of remakes and then I asked them to drill the holes - got them skew!!

Hope the weather holds and have a great time.

Hope you all have a great time

ride safe

Don't worry, I'm something of a perfectionist so will defintely be drilling and screwing myself! There may even be a spirit level involved.

Thank you for all the well wishes.

See you all in a few days time. Setting off in minutes few.

Behave while we're gone

Cheers & all the best
Tel
