I was talking to some friends at the MGOCUK Essex branch meeting last Sunday and they mentioned they had already booked accommodation. Apparently it gets a bit nutty in non anniversary years with people camping in the middle of roundabouts. (Where do you park a bike in Italy? Anywhere you want to!) I have just booked a room for my mate on his Cali and me the nearest I could get is Lecco, a few miles down the lake. Everything in Mandello is booked. For those of you from further away who are shipping your bikes and riding down don't forget to stay off the Swiss motorways, there is a flat fee of about £35. If you avoid the motorways there are some lovely roads and you'll have a lot more fun crossing the Alps. See pic (I know its a Kwaka!). I'll wear me best Guzzitech T shirt, see you there.
