Default 2012 HDF Euro M&G info

Here's some info on the upcoming 2012 HDF Euro M&G, planned for July 20/21/22-2012 in Bad Peterstal, Germany.

Schedule:
July 20 Individual Ride In and arrival
July 21 Group Ride in the German Black Forest & BBQ/dinner at All Biker Hotel Waldblick
July 22 Departure

Timings for July 21:
Breakfast at 08:00 am
Kick stands up: 09:00 am
Morning coffee break: around 10:15 at Bikertreff Zur Große Tanne
Lunch: around noon at Gasthof Seeheiner
Afternoon coffee/ice cream break at BFT Tankstelle Schramberg
BBQ/dinner: 19:00 pm at All Biker Hotel Waldblick

Route info:
The hotel is situated at the slope of a hill. At the start of the road to the hotel you'll encounter a sharp and steep hairpin.
My advice: keep to the left and make a wide turn to the right.
At the y junction follow the sign and keep to the right. Down at the hotel keep to the left to go to the parking area.
Here's a short video of that route...

Looks good Rene, I think all relevant info is there.

Only thing I would add for those traveling from afar and perhaps not having riden in Germany before, if you are on the autobahn, keep an eye on your mirrors more often than you would at home as a vehicle traveling at 200 kmh will be on your *** REAL fast.
Keep checking your blind spots as well. When average traffic speed is 160 KMH, a simple lane change requires a whole lot more attention.
Also use hand signals as well as indicators to be sure your intentions are known.

It's not uncommon on the Autobahns for traffic to be ripping along then suddenly everyone in front of you is HARD on the anchors. If you encounter this, get yourself in a position that has an escape route whenever possible to avoid becoming a biker sandwich if the worst should happen.

Ride safe everyone! See ya'll there!
