SwitzerlandMuch to my delight we rolled upon a random bike repair shop (that was open) right on the track... My back brakes were in much need of replacement... The lovely guy put my bike on straight away and changed the brakes, and did a quick tune. I was so so happy!! (Hence why it gets its own post...Sucks to not have brakes on some of the hills we have done)

Am Sonntag waren wir dann bei bestem
Wetter auf dem Uetliberg mit einer tollen Sicht über die Stadt! Und nachts haben wir uns das Feuerwerk am See angeschaut - das war der Hammer, das riesigste Feuerwerk was wir jemals gesehen haben 😍

Beks TravelsWe were a cohesive team with bike set up... all contributing with our talents... With the skills to pay the bills (well to earn some deserved beers)
SwitzerlandDas Pfingstwochenende ging es nach Zürich zu Lorenz und Laura. Mit einer guten Stunde Verspätung ging es am Samstag morgen in Berlin los, in Zürich wurden wir dann mittags gleich abgeholt und es ging weiter zum Vierwaldstätter See. Dort ging es mit der Seilbahn den Rigi hinauf und anschließend auf eine gute 4h-Wanderung durch die Gipfel und Täler bei drückendem Sonnenschein. Den SonntagRead more
SwitzerlandWir hatten ein tolles Silvesterwochenende im schönen Zürich! Die Stadt ist einfach wunderschön, nur bei den Preisen schaut man am besten weg😄 Am Samstag hatten wir noch einen verregneten grauen Tag aber dafür war am Sonntag strahlend blauer Himmel, das tat gut, endlich mal wieder etwas Sonne zu sehen 😊☀️
SwitzerlandNach einer Stunde Flug war ich dann auch schon in der Schweiz. Am Flughafen musste ich mit einem Zug zu meinem Gate fahren. Der Flug dauert 10 Stunden. Während dem Flug war ein sehr schöner Sonnenuntergang zusehen. Schlafen konnte ich im Flugzeug gar nicht, mit vielen Filmen ging die Zeit aber trotzdem relativ schnell um.

Some big mountains beginning to loom now on the horizon. Scary stuff ! Today was the first day with a few small climbs. Gravity sure slows you down when the combined weight of bike plus kit is 40 kg.
The route today took me past one of Europe's most powerful and impressive waterfalls just downstream from Schaffhausen. Also had the privilege of some fresh snacks alongside the cycle path today,Read more
Riccardo ToniniHey Pat seems like you r having a good time. Pics and story are very inviting. Thanks and enjoy it, you could be back home here working like the rest of us - now that's some motivation for those looming hills!!
SwitzerlandGorgeous train ride to Zurich this morning and I managed to catch some of the carnival before I left. People were drinking so early. I talked to a Swiss girl at breakfast this morning and she gave me the facts about fasnacht-wear the scariest masks to scare away winter, bring on spring and growth of new things, along with the celebration of lent. I had the top of the train this morning and what aRead more
SwitzerlandFirst train of the day was 09.35 from still sunny Kitzbuhel for us but, by this time, James, Jodie and Dexter had been in the air half an hour, having set off at the unearthly hour of 04.15 ! We seamlessly transferred from Kitzbuhel to Worgl, to Kufstein, to Munich and finally arrived in Zurich at around 17.30. We had coffee and a pastry at Kufstein in a local Backerei and chatted to a pleasantRead more
