You (or your Dad!) don't happen to know the dates do you? Me and 2 mates have already got our Gasthof booked in Malta, Austria, and will be based in the region from Sat 10th Sept to about the 14th. If the Hillclimb was on that weekend that would be the icing on the cake! If it is, give us yer Dad's bike and race number and we'll give him a wave as he goes by!
We are leaving this Septic Pile early on the Sept 7th (think we are gonna try out the Newhaven-Dieppe Crossing for a change - it means we don't have to schlep all the way round the M4 / M25 and Maidstone to Dover/Folkestone which has to be a bonus). Hoping to ride down to Riems / St Dizier area by the end of Day 1, and aim to make time so we can ride down over the passes to Bolmio, then ride the Stelvio from South to North and then head on up to Grossglockner, arriving in Malta on the 10th. From there we hope to make runs out into Slovenia / N.Italy as well as The Grossglockner and other goodies in the locale.
I'm really looking forward to it - it has the potentialto be a really nice road trip!
Not tempted to join yer ole man and get yourself over there as well then RB?
Totally tempted - but funds are never around when you need them!!
Will let you know if I find out what the GrossGlockner dates are.
