Sorry if this is the wrong area (Mods please feel free to move if not).

The most I've ever ridden was 150 miles in a day, but the chance has come up to ride with a work mate to meet some guys in Germany for a few days in May riding around the Eifel,Ardennes & Hunsruck aeas.

So, I'd be most grateful for any advise from those who've biked on the continent, what essential items shoudl I take? do you have to take warning triangles and medi-kits for France if your on a bike? as with cars?.

Cheers
Simon
