Hi All

So, not really a Ride Out but...  ive got Sat 26th May to Sat 2nd June off the Grind and I'm looking at a small trip to Luxembourg / Surrounding area.  probably leaving Sat 26th May or Sunday 27th May.  Thought i'd post up and ask if anyone fancies a wee blast that's not too far away for great food, beers and laffs

As with all my last 5 trips into Europe - my 1st port of call will be the brilliant Hotel Auberge aal Vienen in Vianden, I tiny villge just outside Luxembourg ( http://vianden.beimhunn.lu/en/ ) for one of their incredible Steaks - I'm now officially booked in every time under the name "Mr Rib Eye" .  See attached photo from March this year.  This is a bike friendly hotel, has secure parking and is a lovely place to stay.   

Then I'm open / flexible to suggestions on where next but its very close to some fantastic places.  Luxembourg is lovely and as I used to live there I know the lay of the land well.  Great place for a few beers.
There is also Esch sur Sure just up the road, Lakes and biking roads. 
Bastonge is very close
The Moselle Valley bike run is also really close and a fantastic run of just  170km through winding roads and small towns like Cochem which is a biking paradise..

Anyone fancy a few days away?  Nothing massively expensive, just bikes, roads, beers n food..  As I don't really do UK biking anymore I get into Europe as often as I can.  Ferry will be in the region of £75 and then its £45(ish) per nite for digs plus youll need Beer n food tokens

Heck..  we cold even go the Nurburgring and you can pay your 27 euros and have a go..  ive done it and it was ACE (ask Chop too) and we can book into a place ive stayed at before called Sliders Guest House very close..

Lots of options.  lots of places.. 

be nice to be joined by some of you crazies...!   I will also be going on my (hopefully) finished GSX14...

Mate..  why do you think ive been 5 times!!!!  come on over!  ive a GTR14 you can use with absolute pleasure

Here is a pikkie of my mate Bryan who came last year.  he rode all the way from Cambridge to Vianden with me just for the Steak.  850 miles in 2 days.. next day he set off for home and rode to Italy

The Steak..  its a 500g prime Rib Eye.  the hotel specialises in Meat !!!

So, book your ticket - my GTR14 is waiting...

Sounds like my kind of hotel Stoli!  Meat, Meat & more Meat! and Beer! :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:    But, for the price of the plane ticket, I could probably buy 2 or 3 cows!  maybe one day. . .    :cheers:

I will have to seriously consider it (coming over / up?) Stoli,  Dave is coming 'down' next year so will have a wee chat to him about it.  Why not take the ole Barmy for a ride the Meat Hotel?   He's got nothing to do & all day to do it!  Notty would be free too, well, not free maybe, but very cheap anyway!! :lol:

I think Dave is already booked on a wee jaunt during this time - when / if you do come over then let me know as ill drop everything (well most things !!) and we can go for beers n fun

hopefully Notty will have a read and if hes free...

Seth too..  but hes a Loong way up

Sure would bro & plenty of notice.  :cheers:

I'm just hoping the GSX14 is going to be ready..  ive had a Shed-load done this year to it.  its looking rather smart - if I do say so myself - but still a bit to do.. I was hoping to do the Run in May posted up but its not looking likely..  no front end in yet !  its a complete change for 2018!!

I was in Vianden last Friday. Wish I would have known about the steak  :drool:
Week before I was in Cochem.

Sure I will be visiting both places again this year. Might come down to have a bite out of a cow while you are there. Mostly depends on the weather :cheers:

nice steak, bit too much veg for me.  :)
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

I agree, in fact I have photo's showing "all that" veg is still on the plate when ive done. 

Veg = contamination

Shame about the date you picked, if I'd seen it coming I would have joined you, I LOVE that area.

I have also stayed in that hotel (on the way back from Croatia), I got a little room in the attic as I recall. Great staff who found a place for the GSX in one of their lock-ups across the street for the night.

The food did look good an the place was bursting, it all seemed a bit out of my budget though.

If anyone has the chance to make the trip with you I would highly recommend it.
