    Route and hotel suggestions would be excellent.

    We're going to be doing the British Nuerburgring Riders Club
training course at the 'Ring - this course runs every year and is booked
solid about half an hour after the first announcement!  Course
registration is on the afternoon of Sunday 9 July; our plan is to set
out on the Saturday morning, stop somewhere overnight and get to
Nuerburg by about 3pm on the Sunday.  We may or may not do a lap or two
on Sunday evening to see if we can remember which way the bends go :-)
The course finishes at midday on the Wednesday and we'll be heading
straight for home on the motorway to prepare for racing the following
weekend.

    Meeting up could be fun, but our plans tend to be a little, um,
flexible :-)

    Thanks for the offer, but that looks rather out of our way.
