Now - this is it. The place where you should be able to find all info on our preparations, pictures, experiences, emotions, you name it ... all related to our motorcycle trip that will guide us thru the French Alpes. 

If all goes according to plan we will leave our home town Knesselare, which is a very small village in the East of Flanders, on the 2nd of August 2012. We will travel using National Roads up to the lake of Geneva, where we will start a tour of 3 days to cross the French Alpes, based on the existing "Route des Grandes Alpes" or the "Great Alpione Road (in English)". Check this link if you want to learn more: http://www.losapos.com/great_alpine_road. After 3 days we should arrive in Menton, which is a city located in the South of France, close to the Italian border. Nice city, "du beau monde", a bit of sun, beach.  That's what I call a good excuse to stay there for a while. 

We calculated that it will take us about 9 to 10 days to do the whole trip. Hmmm ... that will be a lot of miles in a short timeframe ...
