I've setup a Yahoo group to plan a convoy to Carlisle in 2010, the 25th anniversary of the Merkur marque. I've uploaded some maps of proposed routes in the Photos section and some distances/times charts in the Files section. There are also sights to see and eateries along the way tables in the Databases section.
