BBOT - Bewdley Bikers on Tour - made their customary annual pilgrimage to Europe this June. This tour was intended to take in the Nurburgring - achieved - some new passes around Chamonix - partially achieved - and the Route des Cretes in the Vosges - failed miserably. Our failure was due to the weather but there is a tour report on our website:
Bewdley Bikers On Tour
Where this year differs is that apart from the tour we also managed 3 other European trips this year - mine to Switzerland and to the Nurburgring - and Kyle's to the Pyrenees for the Tour de France, so although Chamonix was a bit of a wash out, there are three trip reports as well as the tour report with some great photos to be viewed if you like that sort of thing.
For those of you who take the time to visit the site, please note that Kyle has built in a new feature which allows you to leave comments. So if you have ridden a road or a pass and feel you have something to add to our opinion then please do so. The more information on the site the better it will be.
Just to whet your appetite here are some photos from the various reports:
