The final stage. The day started with an easy wind down the road to Milbach. In contrast to the other days the climb from Milbach to Zermatt was a gentle climb of 645m over around 30km. Most of the ride was on cycling paths and mountain bike single trails. The single trails were very rocky…

I started the Day getting to the Starting point Kandersteg from my accommodation in Spiez. At Kandersteg I took a cable car up to Sunnbühl. It was going to be a very hot day again. The first cycling section was around the tree border height and above. The rock formations were very interesting you can…

Today was a tough one, the distance and ascent were not the problem but the heat I had an average temperature of 33 and a max of 42 and min of 28. None the less it was another excellent day starting at the large lake Thun and cycling up alongside rivers into the mountains. After…

Another spectacular day I started as early as possible because the weather was predicted to be warm. The first 3 hours was a climb of just over 1000m. The Eiger looked down on me the whole way. After a relaxed lunch at Klein-Scheidegg I had a long downhill ride to a pretty little town called…

Today Annemarie and I went up the Jungfraujoch. The weather was great. Jungfraujoch is 3460m high. We had fabulous views of the Eiger, Eiger glacier and Aletsch glacier. ps. The live tracking should work from tomorrow as I now have a Swiss sim.

I had a good night in the hostel. I was the only person in an 11 bed room. After an early breakfast I started on the descent down to Andermatt then to Göschenen it was mainly on broad paths and roads. At Göschenen the mountain bike route ran next to the train line and river…

The day started well the train arrived in Lengfeld on time. It was not long before the train had to be diverted and my comfortable 30 min transfer whittled down to 10 min. The rest of the train travel went perfectly to plan. I needed that after the stress this morning. The short ride from…

After a 1 week involuntary rest due to an leg infection I am back in the saddle.
