3rd European Cade Raid AM Springhorstsee, Germany
AM Springhorstsee is near to Hanover and consists of a lake, hotel/restaurant and camping area. Places that offer all these facilities are very hard to find in most European countries. After a bit of confusion about bookings, we alll settled in very nicely and by the time for dinner came around there was a total of 12 Cavalcades, 2 Yamaha 900 diversions and a Suzuki Madura. Head count of people were: 6 Germans, 6 Belgiums, 4 Dutch, 5 Swedes, 2 British and 1 American.
The ride out on the Saturday took about 5 hours including a stop for refreshments. In total the trip was just over 150 Km (100 miles) passing through some great scenery on roads meant for motorcycles.
After dinner we had a meeting to discuss plans for next year and thanks were given to Robert Förge for all the work he had done on securing the venue; Yves Rummens and his wife for taking the photos and to Patrick Delvaux & Brenda Wijers for taking control of the stewarding of the Cavalcades at road junctions and roundabouts, stopping traffic until every rider was through.
Thank you all for making this another success and we hope to see you at the 2010 Cade Raid in Sweden. Details on the European Cade Raid page.
