UK to Swiss, Italian and French Alps
 
I'm off to the Alps on Tuesday on the new XTZ. I found a recent trip on ADV and will be riding most of the same roads.

Nothing wrong with looking after your backside, I looked for a skin before my ride - couldn't find one so opted for the AirHawk.

It's a great bike for touring, have a ball!

Sounds like fun

How longs the trip going to be?? Milage??

Bike looks great, loving the sheep seat, and make up bag on the rear seat:Mullet_T57ECT::tongue3:

Nice trip however a bit late in the season I think. This weekend 75cm of snow in Austria :biggob: !

Mind you don't lose your white bike in all that snow! :022:Maybe you should have bought a black one...?

panniers
 
Good Luck with the trip OGR.

Would like to know how you get on with the yammie panniers as mine have been under repair longer than they have been on the bike.

Take a rucksack just in case!:grommit:
