Default Annual NLD Army Staff Bike Tour 2011





Planning process for this year's edition of the Annual NLD Army Staff Bike Tour has started with a first draft of the itinerary: this is serious business....

June 16 we will gather at ‘Generaal-majoor De Ruyter van Steveninck’ Barracks in Oirschot, home of 13 Mechanised Brigade and Driver Training Centre.

Kick-stands up around 8.30AM and off we go via Belgium and German Eifel South towards Idar-Oberstein (Fire Support Training Centre), the RON location for two nights.

June 17 we will do a ~300km tour South of K-town in the PFALZERWALD.

June 18 we will head back North, route still tbd.

1st draft of day 2 tour....

More to follow...

Sometime I wish I was still in Europe.
Had a Ball on the bike when I lived in Stuttgart, always seems to be a Rally or Meet somewhere and most only a couple hour or a day at most away.
I envy you sometimes.
