Subject: Hello Tony

Hello Tony,
We’ve found a campsite on the other side of Bogel and you’ll find it on: http://www.camping-bogel.de/
It>’s about 3,5 km from us but as Bogel is in the middle then I think for night entertainment everyone can meet up there.
Bogel is 1 km from us and the campsite is 2 to 2,5 km on the other side. There are 2 restaurants come bars and another bar down a side street in Bogel.
We’ve been up to look at the camping site and it’s a static caravan site with camping facilities and an onsite bar. Marie’s spoken to the owner and he seems well friendly. Interestingly enough, it’s at the head of a valley dropping down to the Rhine and it’s a superb biking road.
Hope that helps but keep us informed as we running close on dates.
All the best
Andre and Marie

to be honest looking at the price difference i cant see any reason to camp.
once you take into account the cost of breakfast or the taxi back from town then i think the camping might actually be dearer.
i'll update when contact has been confirmed and i know more.

i can't take credits for that find. so far i have not achieved any good results. i've found several "motorrad-hotels" in rheinland pfalz, but they seemed a little expensive and not located near ruppertshofen...
the thread in the german forum did not bring results yet.
i'm sorry.
best regards

You lot may want to consider a day trip to either of these, only 84 miles away and good laugh, especially the slide down from the Jumbo jet

http://www.technik-museum.de/
Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs

All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!

today i've visited Ruppertshofen and also the Campig-Bogel in the middle of nowhere. with the bike you can go from the camp to the B&B in just 3 minutes, but i don't want to walk, because i am verry sluggardly sorry.gif

first i didn't found the B&B because there are no signs on the house. but one from the citizen (not more than 200) told me thats the B&B opens only and especial for english guests. so i went for a cola in the next-door house, a german pub "Deutsches Haus" and talk about the surrounding area. it seems to be a good place, because you can choose every direction to curve.

on my way home i've tested the "Gelbachtal", its just a half hour afar and i like it. good.gif It seems as if i have to travel more often in this direction, because actualy i travel more at the "Odenwald" or at the "Taunus".

what do you prefer, small curves or fast countryroads?
