good B&B !! nothing "fancy schmansy" but nearly everything you need as a bike is there. the workshop is priceless and so is the game room.
RUSTIC was the term used and it suits it well. unclutter that attic and its the top.
loved the wooden beems and the lay out. great fun, just some banter with the lads before you knod off. and then starting the morning with the same banter.
tall roof, so the farts can go high up
just that steep staircase... well half the house was warped
which was one of its charmes, and the DIY plumbing in the attic bathroom. just made it feel like home, you know. dont have to worry about running around in yer biker boots or worrying about knocking over some Ming vase or whatever. very TDMish! Im sure a BMW or Goldwing club could be bit snooty about this.THE GAME ROOM :
brilliant
! meeting with other guests, having a drink, we've had the silliest of "serious" discussions there... good fun.just that selection of beers... fizzy, fizzier or fizziest
but didnt stop me from getting pished.a crate of belgian's finest would just be too heavy in the top box... dont you think?
the "library" .. oh my god... amazing...
im going back there with some biker friends. told them about the bnb, the local routes and scenery and they we're ready to go :-)
Stefan asked :"next week"
.. alltho, still cant believe he didnt return home to work on sunday... Andre and Marie are MORE then reasonable and very helpfull.
Just ask!
Andre lives for biking and the B&B is his hobby :-)
all very homely ! allthough, Toneski, i think he's gonna charge you for the next repairs
LOCATION
excellent ! one pub, small village. nothing much to do
which means the game room is PERFECT. no need to ride out to get a drink. we all stay together, no hassle with the locals or the police.
with a bigger town (Nastatten) nearby for fuel and whatever you need.
the roads are great. had some GREAT fun and then some more... loaded up my satnav with favorites.
the evening walk to the bistro in the nearby village of Bogel and the walk back was just what the doctor ordered and it was always a fun walk/hobble back down snailgraveyard.
great food at the bistro, great folk as well. (they didnt serve escargots... tho i doubt anyone would try that)
some peeps left earlier then foreseen or changed venue halfway thru but thats the RTT, free to come and go, do whatever and whenever you feel like.
FREEDOM
to have fun your waywhich also showed on the ride outs. slower riders going off on their own, doing their thing, no string attached. everybody making the most of it in their own style or we made sure we waited when changing direction... went well. apart from loosing acking toneski to a lollypop lady :-)
after a day or two we also came up with a hand signal so the fast boys could unleash their full potential for a couple of kilometers
.. me doing the signalling and them the unleashing btwall in all
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR A GREAT RTT07
im a happy chappy :-)
