Stelvio v2.0 tour - July 20th and 21st, 2013...

[Dackelone]

Ok... Who wants one?

Jan from the Stammtisch München hooked me up(!)... so I have plenty of free stickers for anyone who wants one. Just send me your CMR or your German address and I get you a decal. IF I have to mail it thru the German post office... I ask you to pay me a few euros to cover the postage. Thru the military MPS it is free CMR to CMR.

Could you pm me the bank acc details for the down payment?

I put you(& your father) down on our List.

Tnx for all your effort in organizing all this!

edit: or will the trip on Sunday end somewhere else? Perhaps then it's easier for me to get an Hotel closer to or in Germany?

Ok, most guys are only doing the Stelvio Pass tour Sat & Sunday July 20th and 21st. Some guys are thinking about getting to our hotel in Stelvio(actually the Post Hotel is located in Trafoi, Italy) on Friday afternoon.

But our driving tour is for Saturday and Sunday - driving the roads in and around Stelvio and some other Alpine Passes. We will stay over night Sat and Sunday at the Post Hotel in Trafoi, Italy. Post Hotel rates will be 55 euros per person including dinner AND breakfast and parking AND free WiFi in the hotel lobby.


Then some of us "die hards" will drive North up to Kufstein, Austria. This is the first Austrian city on the A93 (heading back North to Munich/Munchen). We will stay one or two nights(depending on what the group wants to do) near Kufstein at the SchlossBlick Hotel. This is a really nice hotel in the foot hills of the Alps. Hotel rates will be around 70 euros for one person or 110 euros for two poeple in one double bed room. I have to double check on those rates for the SchlossBlick Hotel, bc now we are in their high season and those were the low season rates.

Andreas (Evolution80) lives near here and he will be our personal Alpine tour guide. The roads are so nice here... Andreas has said he often see's Porsche/Audi/BMW/MB all test their prototypes on these roads that WE will be driving. We will have an AWESOME time.

Some guys will only stay one night in Kufstein and then take off for home. Some will stay both nights(like myself). Its all up to you. Just let me know what you and your dad would like to do.


Both Hotels know us(me) and I have stayed at both of these hotels before. It will not be necessary for us to give our Bank(or CC) info before we check in.

Both hotels are run by very nice people and they trust me when I say I am coming with 25 people on such and such day.


I only ask you(and all the others going on the tour) to PLEASE let me know if you can not make the trip. Other than that... we are set to have FUN!



PLEASE EVERYONE bring your PASSPORT(!!!) For those of you who don't have one... bring your ID card and I think we can do what we did last time around. You know who you are!

Make sure your car has its GREEN cards (international proof of insurance cards). You will also need an Austrian Vignette for the Austrian Autobahn(you can buy one before you cross into Austria for 8 euros for ten days). IF some of you guys will be driving on the Swiss Autobahns... you will also need a Swiss Autobahn decal (40 euros). Everyone should also have a warning vest(for each person in the car(!), first aid kit, warning triangle and spare light bulb kit(sold in most grocery stores and gas stations). And for us Army & Airforce guys... try and get a International drivers license thru your Driver Training Dept on Base.

Also... guys buy your gas in Germany(1.60 euro) or Austria(1.40 euro). The Italian gas is around the 2.10 euro mark. No joke.




This is who I have down as going on our Stelvio 2.0 tour. This is just for the weekend July 20th and 21st!!

Grand Tourismo tour Monday thru Tuesday or mayb even Weds?.

[B]PLEASE let me know IF you will join us for the Monday and Tuesday extension and how many in your party.

I plan on rolling Friday as well... Friday / Saturday at the Post Hotel like Nick, and then back on Sunday.

Dack, please update me on the list for Stelvio only, not Kufstein, and I need a room for Friday and Saturday... Thanks!

... Also, I'd love to get a sticker! Sent my address in a PM.

[Grey Dove]

David I guess all's clear on who is staying where and when????


For those arriving on friday at Francesca's, do we make our arrangements ourselves for fridaynight or do you handle the lot for us ?

[Mr Kleen]

Arriving at Post Hotel on Friday, checking out with the rest of the group on Monday.

Are we going to get radios? After last time it would be great for at least a few people to have coms...

I will inform Francesca and arrange the reservations for all of us.


I updated the List. Let me know IF I need to make any changes.

[Dackelone]

Only a few more weeks...

[Jean-Marc]

We will be staying at the Post Hotel in Trafoi from saturday until monday (2nights), together with my wife and daughter.
on monday, depending our your roadbook, we might follow you on the morning and then go back to Basel in the afternoon.
thanks!
Looking forward to riding the Stelvio !
Jean-Marc

[Mr Kleen]

We will follow the group to Kufstein on Sunday night. We have to be back in Wiesbaden at 6pm Monday through, so I don't think we'll get to see many passes.

I looked in the Power Zone here, no radios at all.

[Elsabor67]

i'll check on this end NLT monday.

Also David, Bob, Josh, Adam, are rolling friday also. Didn't know if you got the news or not.

Ok Nic, Thanks for the update.

We can talk more via our FB site if & where everyone wants to meet up. Maybe we can meet up in Imst, Austria or Nauders on Friday or we can just meet up at the Post Hotel Friday evening.


Nic, do you know if those guys will also join us for Kufstein on Monday/Tuesday night(s). They don't have to stay for both nights, but one night would be nice.


I can tell you guys how much fun this will be!!! I can not wait for July 19th!!



PLEASE send me a PM if you do not see anything next to your user name!!!! (up above in post #155) I need to finalize the hotel reservations this week!!! DANKE!

As already communicated with all involved parties, I'll most likely ride with smellthebeans from friday to sunday and while he's doing the monday-trip too, I'll ride back home with Elsabor67 on sunday evening. As soon as thats confirmed and I got the friday off confirmed, I'm good to go .

Of course you will. I have enough trunk space in the back....

Seriously though, No problem at all. I'm even taking the mudflaps off just for you and Florian.

Thanks man .

Because its so hilarious, I got to share your fb-message

Good day Mr. Endesfelder,

You have been confirmed seating onboard "Reckless Puertorican" airways. Your confirmation code is "OH $HIT!!27" Please meke sure your boarding ticket si available when boarding.

Now that I got the ok from Bob and Nic, I just requested the friday off. As soon as thats approved (and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be), all is good!

Dear organizers,
I checked again the Top Gear “Best road of the world” .
If I am not mistaken, it is this one : from Stelvio to Davos through Livigno.
132 km, 2h15 on google map. Probably in the range of 3h including pictures etc…
Of interest, particularly if we can hit the road quite early on Sunday morning (e.g. 8:00), to avoid zillions of bicycles and R.V ?
Just my 2 cents…

Getting up at 8am on a sunday? No, wait, leaving at 8am, thus getting up like... OMG

[Mr Kleen]

"Reckless Puertorican" airways is worse than Ryan Air. They won't let you reserve a seat and you have to wait till the "plane" starts rolling down the runway before you can run to catch a seat!

+1 to that Jean-Marc! I also want us to leave early and get on the road. The longer we hang around the more cyclists and RV's will show up. But we can talk about it at the Post Hotel the night before.


As far as that route... it looks good. I think for Saturday we will drive that route and back around to the Post Hotel.


How does this route look to you?

For Sunday, I am still unsure of where we will drive. Maybe you have a suggestion?
