CUSTOM CHROME EUROPE Bolt On And Ride Tour Rhein Time – Germany’s most romantic ride! The Niederwald-Memorial... ...and the 2018 CCE BOAR Tour on the new Rhine road opposite Bingen.
CUSTOM CHROME EUROPE PRESS RELEASE - PUBLICATION FREE OF CHARGE TOP LEFT: Just opposite of Assmanshausen, Rheinstein Castle looks back to a mixed history, but today is open as a museum and restaurant (www.burg-rheinstein.de). TOP RIGHT: From the road near Ehrenfels, to the Bingen „Mouse Tower“ once ran a chain to block the entrance into the Rhine narrows. The Rhine valley between Rüdesheim and Koblenz is one of the most scenic landscapes of Germany – add the confluence of the Mosel river at Koblenz and the Rhine up to Bonn and Cologne, you also travel a route of historic significance! In 2018, the Custom Chrome Europe Team travelled twice along the Rhine valley – once as a staff tour, then joining the „Kustom Life Run“ from Switzerland to Berlin leading the group from CCE‘s HQ at Grolsheim to Cologne. A trip of 170 - 190 km distance one way – depending on the route choosen – that was to be travelled in less than four hours. Rhine valley, Eifel and history expert „Motographer“ Horst Roesler“ plotted a trip that would be scenic, superb riding and get the participants through some of the most spectacular scenes of recent and older history of the Middle Rhine Gorge: Battles and wars are known to have been fought along this river, but disastrous Vulcano eruptions, nature catastrophies and todays resulting benefits – who has given that a thought when travelling todays UNESCO protected World Heritage Site attraction? You can spend two weeks on this short route and may not have seen it all! As a matter of fact, when performing the two rides in that super sunny August of 2018, few of the participants did realize or knew what they were passing, crossing or riding along and in whose footstep they travelled. Nor did they know that in some scenic landscapes lava was bubbling under their wheels, waiting to break free again one day – hopefully not during our short history on this planet: This story is also dedicated to them!
