• Lake route through Ägeri saddle

    May 27, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    The forecast again said rain later in the day from the south west. I thought I'll outpace the rain, and got an early start out of Lucerne. It was pleasant and sunny.

    For once, I actually followed the Lake Route today. It was probably a classic section of it, running along Zügersee and then climbing up to the Ägeri hill range. It was when I was in the forest that it started to rain - and it was actually wonderful! Green, fresh, clean forest paths are just good for the mood. The ride on the top of the hill saddle was fun with a great downhill section.

    It was forecast to rain heavy during the night. After 93 km, I found shelter with Sabine & Beat in Uznach. Another set of India lovers, with a well-stocked spice cupboard, who gave me free reign over their kitchen. Great to talk biking stories over yummy curry.

    Today I have completed 3000 km on Schopper!
