Traffic info for Neal: The pic was made in Düsseldorf btw, and it shows one of the nuisances when riding a bike here. The tram tracks often run on the road and can be quite slippery when wet, especially when they run across cobblestones.

Oh, so that red thing is a train?? What's it doing on the road with the cars?

I totally don't get this one:


Only vehicle 2 can turn left? How's he gonna manage that with vehicle one in his way, going straight?

This is gonna be exciting!

Relax. Keep it easy, don't pack too many dates into your organiser. Do you want to enjoy a travel, or do you want to set records for marking checkpoints on a list?

Yeah, I think you're right, I will try to make the riding local, within 3 hours of the city. Are you SURE you won't join us Sat night? It would be terrific to finally meet one of the most active and prolific Subsim forum members.

Alright, so then I suggest the Füchschen. Traditional food, good beer, and they follow the German concept of 'Gemütlichkeit'. I can call them, and book a table there for Saturday.
So at what time do we want to meet?

Good deal, if I return the bike in Wuppertal at 18:00, I should be able to make it there by 19:30, right? I'll be taking a train back to Dusseldorf. Let me make sure I have this straight: we meet first at Schlossturm at the Burgplatz (in your map) and then we will go to Füchschen and see who can out eat the Texan? Right?

This is my hotel,Grand City Börsenhotel http://goo.gl/maps/1noe
I think Dan D is joining us, who else?
