New Year in Wiesbaden

The Wiesbaden Bus company provides clocks on intersections because the buses run on time....

Starting out on RBR

Ok, so it's not to late to start this adventure - but where do I begin? I have the list of landmarks and the bike is almost ready for longish trips (lowered foot pegs fitted last Sunday - investigating a raised seat all to accomodate my 1,98m of vertical near arthritic normality).

George and Kathy's website gives some insight into what is involved but I have discovered a major problem - how do I hold the RBR card and take a photo at the same time? I must find a riding buddy or do I adopt the Ted Simon approach of befriending locals?Maybe a tripod and a remote control for the camera

There is a fair bit of helpful information on Highwaylass' witty blog and I had a reasonable degree of success at gleening an Alpine Ascent type of single day trip route planning strategy from Transport of Delight: It's such a perfect day...

Oh, and I found Bikergran's write up too.

More of a challenge will be the extended tours when there is so little holiday remaining....
