Road Trip - The Plan

As some of you know, I plan to visit several OUG events by Motorbike. Start date is 24 May, leaving from Spa, B. And return on the 23rd to The Hague, back to work (if I'm still in one piece, if my customers will still have me, if my colleagues havnt filled my seats..)

Firstly, the Bike (I named her Beauty-Case), the Bike gets a large maintenance and new tyres (rear tyre is in dire need, I ride it way too much...). After I break in the tyres, it is off to the East, leaving on 24th.

If it all works out, than this is approximately the proposed route (c/o Google maps, right-click to zoom in new tab):



I'm posting the map with a purpose: In case someone on-route fancies a coffee or a light meal, let me know...

First destination is SrOUG, which runs from 28 to 30May:


click to check them out....


Next is a trek north, through Hungaria, Slovakia, Poland, then the Via Baltica through Latvia and  Lithuania, on to Talinn in Estonia, where I have a Tallink ferry to catch for Helsinki.

OUGF happens at Haltia (or google it!) on 05 and 06Jun :






After OUGF, which includes a night of Camping (Glamping, I hope), it is Ferry again to Tallin, and a trek south to Sandanski where BGOUG takes place from 13 to 15Jun.

Proud to display this logo:



Then it is back to The Hague where, on 23Jun, I hope to take up residence in a new(ly rented) apartment with a nice View!

And back to work: I can do trips like this because I escaped from "managers and shareholders", but the finance-chief of PDVBV (that is me!) will want to fill the coffers after such a splash (and I might need a new rear tyre again).


BTW: Cross  fingers that the Internet connection at the new apartment works by then. Imagine returning "home" after 9000km and no connectivity to brag about it...
