Through France to Switzerland (2024-4)

Posted on March 17, 2025March 17, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Riding through France, or a bit of France, quickly makes you realize how big the country is. Well big by European standards at least.  Through France, always an experience France is the third largest country in Europe, but the largest in the European Union. I’ve ridden through a couple of times. Primarily in the eastern…read more>>

Hinckley UK & back to France (2024-3)

Posted on March 9, 2025May 9, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Our next goal was Hinckley UK. The plan was just to ride up from Folkstone, spend one night, and then back down, then Eurotunnel over to France.  We booked Le Shuttle tickets at breakfast. I was surprised by how much more expensive it was, compared to my last crossing in 2019. They did have a…read more>>

To Calais and Eurotunnel (2024-2)

Posted on February 9, 2025February 17, 2025 by Knut Meyn 2 Comments

Our next goal was Calais, Eurotunnel to Folkstone, and up to Hinckley, England. We had a mission there, before returning to mainland Europe. So the plan was to spend a night in Calais, and hop on the train the next morning. We wanted to stay off the Autobahn (AB) as much as possible, even if…read more>>

Returning north in France (2022-5)

Posted on December 26, 2023December 30, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Tuesday September 20th it was time to begin returning north. Another day of road improvisation, and another unknown destination. Well actually the returning north started the day before, just as we rode through Combe Laval. But this particular morning it was more the sensation of a turning point. Though adventures were to still to be…read more>>

Combe Laval, France (2022-4)

Posted on December 4, 2023December 27, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Combe Laval was a target while in France in 2021. But I chose another route further south, and as a result had to drop that plan. I’ve for long wanted to ride D76, the scenic route also known as “Route et cirque de Combe Laval”. A year later it was finally going to happen. Truls-Erik…read more>>

Riding South in France (2022-3)

Posted on December 1, 2023December 10, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

I did some riding south in France in 2021. Came through Switzerland then as well, a few miles further east, a bit closer to Bern. Experiences from that adventure did influence our choice of direction. Whereas I’d been in the area before, it was a new experience for Truls-Erik. And as conditions at higher altitudes…read more>>

Col de l’Iseran, a day, there and back

Posted on May 22, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Col de l’Iseran is the highest paved Alpine pass. It’s close to the French – Italian border, a must see or do for many motorcyclists. Settled in Italy the plan was to do a one day excursion. From Italy and over into France. Ride Col de l’Iseran, maybe a little bit beyond, and return. I’d…read more>>

Assietta or Strada dell’Assietta, a definite high

Posted on March 6, 2022August 9, 2023 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

The Alpine military road known as Strada dell’Assietta is a road that, for many motorcycle riders sits high up on the list of must do’s. So also for me. But it wasn’t planned. Like so many other things, in life and on tour, it just happened. Actually, I wasn’t sure I’d do it, alone, on…read more>>

Five passes on a day, in France

Posted on March 3, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

August 28th became the day of the five passes.  A long day, a pretty long ride. But what does that matter when you’re in the French Alps? As I got started in the morning, nothing was planned. Well, I had a couple of passes on my list. But nothing definite. And absolutely no idea about…read more>>

Gorges de Verdon and back up north

Posted on February 20, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

One of the plans of August 27th was Gorges de Verdon, and side south in France. There are beautiful sights to be seen there, in plenty!  Before leaving home i had created a wish list of places. Originally I’d also thought to stay longer in the southern parts of France. Believing that, it being late…read more>>
