Hey Guys ,

I????m in the process of starting a small Cannondale forum for Germany.
Since we are just a few dale riders we should be better organized.
I would really like to post some pictures of some nice Dale????s, but I won????t just take pictures from the net.
Would be much apreciated if you can send me some nice stuff to my e-mail account if you don????t mind that I publish that.

Just send me all you have wink.gif Dune pics, mx pics, video????s, just everything.
In all existing forums in Germany they think that we are stupid to buy Cannondales !!

Hope that I????ll get some feedback from you guys.

Thanks,
Marcus

If you're anything like me you'll be looking at the dune pics with your tongue hanging out!

If you're starting a forum why not make it a European one? There's some guys in the Netherlands and a few here in the UK that have 'Dales..... mind you, I can't speak German or Dutch! English, French and basic Arabic are my limitations on the lingual front.

What's the riding like in Germany? There have been some law changes here that have just about destroyed the offroad hobby/industry in one. Most of the big offroad guys with land-rovers and range-rovers go to France now to play out but it has killed things for those who cannot afford that luxury.

Hey Wayne ,

Good Point !!!!
My first intention was to build a community for the german cannondale riders . A lot of them still have some problems with english wink.gif
I????m really surprised how many people have contacted me since i started to post some things about cannondales in german forums .
Don????t know why they haven????t checked the "cannondalerider.com" forum !? huh.gif

But might be a good idea to think bigger !!
Will make some changes to the forum and post the link in here .

Riding in germany seems to be ok , so far . We still have some nice tracks around .
We should really arrange a european group ride laugh.gif That would be cool .

Will get back soon with link !!!

Thanks ,
Marcus

Not trying to discourage from building a small forum but really encouraging you to bring the riders to a larger forum. Maybe we could create your own forum here on Cannondaleriders.com .

Hey Marcus,

You may want to send a PM in German to user Orbitz. He is from Germany and I see he is celebrating his birthday today. I don't know if he still has his Dale or not. The more of you that get together over there the better!

I was thinking the same thing, why not contact the moderator here and ask to create a European section, could then brake it into languages.
