I am trying to find out how many different routes were taken on the last day of this year’s 10CR from Leutkirch to Roduc. If you took major deviations from the suggested route could you please spend 10 minutes and send me or post here an overview of the route you took? This will help in any future planning i.e. 2013 10CR I rather think that I should like to be a saddle on a bike. |

I had a shortcut planned for the last few miles, straight from Aubel to Kerkrade instead of the long way round over Aachen.  1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a. Kermette, my first car bought in 1988 ) 1981 TR7 FHC (Sprint engined, a.k.a. 't Kreng) http://tr7beans.blogspot.com/ |

Took advised route, but somehow ended up in an apple orchard once we had come off the german motorway heading for pirmasans. Darren reckoned afterwards that is was not quite the advised route but it was a good one. Him or Colin may be able to be more specific. I think plenty others took that route also. I think it may have been the L548 into Winden then the 427 west through Bad Bergzabem http://mikeyb.weebly.com/ CT Drivers Challenge Champ '08 '09 CT Drivers Champ '12 Serial Triumph Offender, max out at 25 years ago!

We used the book route apart from a bit of unplanned detour at Pirmassens roadworks (flippin' sat-nav refuses to divert when its planned route is not available) and a bit of bother near to Kerkrade when further road works deranged the sat-nav again and caused it to have a stroke and start directing us up footpaths and the wrong way up one-way streets. Lucky it was still light and Rolduc has a tall tower.......

We too took the gravel rally stage through the orchards. Except my miserable co-driver wouldn't let me give the TR a bit of stick.. :-) Schadenfreude expert and collector of assorted rusty Triumphs on the Essex/Suffolk Border. |
