The Porsche Factory (Zuffenhusen) is across the road from the museum, its well worth a tour as well. Believe it or not they have vending machines where the workers can buy a can of beer whilst building the cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potted Heid Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Taking the bike, so a ride over to Ulm after the Germany game and a ride down the Rhine to Mainz from Cologne after that game. Trains will take me to Cologne and Stuttgart from Ulm and Mainz. Hoping for a good long bike ride to Berlin (never been) for the last 16 game (or better still, the final). Would need to jump a train to complete that though. Toom much camping gear for The Stelvio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder about the Rhine too, A bimble along a river without too much climbing, stopping off in wee toons for a Beer or two sounds idylic.

I'm more of a camping gear on the back of the tourer kind of rider. Usually do one bike tour a year around a Scotland game. Last years was a hot one - Madrid to Seville. Pity the order of the Cologne/Stuttgart games hadn't been reversed as that would have set up a great straight run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a mate I occasionally bike with, Chiz Roberts, At the euros in france he biked between Scotlands venues, said never again. Sometimes he had 300 mile to bike between games, said he got pissed off knowing his mates were all on the sauce while he was biking hammer and tongs just to make a game 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
