Hi guys, I have been at the form HISS events in the past (the Belgian) and would like to come too. Ard already informed me that this would take place.
Maybe Phil B might also be interested.

Are you located in the Netherlands (Dutchgit does sound a bit, well, Dutch).
Actually, I live in Germany :lol:
Just across the border in Emmerich.

Edit: Oh, and yes I'm a Dutch git. :|
I've been to neighbouring Kleve few times shopping. Like 90% of Dutch people. :D

I'm looking for some advice for similar trip at similar time, from Amsterdam. I was hoping I could ask what route you would suggest to take to Spain? At about 1000 km it's a bit far, takes long to get there for short holiday. I've been advised to ride to Normandy on first day, but I'm indecisive. Don't like highway travel very much.
If you need transport, I live near Gent in Belgium and I have room in my van. We could share expenses ?
Let me know if you are interested.

It’s looking quite likely that I may be coming, but I’ll be on my road bike.

Thank you sideleaner. Sorry I didn't spot your reply earlier. It would have been nice, but I will not be able to do a trip like that this year.
Champagne taste on beer budget.
