The Group in Luxembourg – where are we going? To infinity & beyond!!!
The night before some dine together (thanks John S)
We start with a pre-tour briefing
“Hi John & Jen,
just a short note to say how much we both enjoyed the Autumn Glory Tour. As usual everything was exceptionally well planned and executed with lovely hotels, brilliant engaging roads (especially in the wet!), coffee/lunch/fuel stops and a really friendly and lively group of fellow riders.
As Sara said in a Facebook reply “BN never disappoint” !!
Needless to say we are now planning which BN tour we would like to do next year! Best Wishes”
Dick Hallsworth (5th tour) & Sara Sheppard (2nd tour), Triumph Sprint GT, Bedfordshire
Morning coffee stop
“After several covid-19 delays, it was a joy to be on a bike tour with John and Jen. As ever, they were on top of their game with immaculate planning, superb roads and great hotels. Nothing was too much trouble. Even a few days of rain did not dampen our spirits or enjoyment. I am really looking forward to my next tour (Monte Carlo or Bust) in the Spring. Thanks again for a great time.”
