6th Alpineroads.com-meet 2012 "Silvretta"

[Ballast]

My holiday British Pound may buy a few more Euros, meanwhile the value of my pension funds goes further down the toilet as markets crash - not a good trade-off.

As you say the Pound is not immune to the turmoil in the Euro-zone, anything could happen between now and AR 2012, even the "experts" can't agree about what should or could happen. and I don't think the problems will be over for a long time yet.

...meanwhile the value of my pension funds goes further down the toilet as markets crash...

Tell me about it. At least if you're young, you have the opportunity to buy cheaply

But for those of us on the other side of the equation

I'm wishing that my accounts were in CHF

Its 5 weeks or something like that anymore left before we ll meet again! ...my gruppo will spend the days before AR-meet in Arabba region, our base is this http://www.alforte.com in the period from the 5th to 9th July, Thursday-Monday.

And after the meet, we have booking in Livigno for the weekend, from Thursday to Sunday...and of course in http://www.hotelmontanina.it ..you are very welcome to join us before or after the AR-meet if you like... ..we have a different route for each day..

.... if you saw us please come and say Hi to us. (4 Goldwings with Dubai Number plates)

That shouldn't be too difficult to spot , if not, look forward to seeing you in Serfaus

[Karza]

Yeah, would be great to meet you Dubai guys. IF you cant reach AR-meet in Serfaus, its still possible to meet us, my Finnish group will stay the next days 12th-15th July, Thursday-Sunday, in Livigno and http://www.hotelmontanina.it , not far from Serfaus. Could be possible to meet for example on top of Stelvio..

[ChrisN]

[Dubai355]

thanks all, will do my best to catch up on dates

[KR1S]

I've finally got round to trying to plan my route following on from AR2012 on Thursday/Friday/Saturday but it's occurred to me that I don't know which passes we will go to together on Tuesday/Wednesday.

So, can anyone give me a clue which passes they are hoping to cover during the meet?
ISTR mention of Stelvio and the name of the meet suggests Silvretta for starters!

Looking forward to riding with everyone again!

Chris

Hi Kris,
I've assumed we'll be riding the Silvrettastrasse one day with the AR Group, and for the other day I've designed a loop to take in the Hahntennjoch, Namlos, Fern, and ending with a ride up the Kaunertal road in the afternoon(159 miles). I've also got a back-up loop taking in the Timmelsjoch (166 miles) *just in case.

[KR1S]

Excellent! You realise you've just volunteered as tour guide/navigator don't you?!
