Continuing my tour, now in Switzerland on the way towards Italy, rode this amazing pass this morning. Very beautiful but kind of steep coming from Grindelwald. Most of it is motor traffic free apart from a few buses who are allowed, dropping off hikers up there. Quite a few cyclists and hikers around though. Took my time on the way down to enjoy the scenery.

      I live in the flat too, i get excited by the view of the smallest rock already. When i started touring i thought i could not ride anywhere near mountains because i felt rolling hills were killing me already. But then i got kinda bored riding along a river and tried cycling in some mellower mountains and liked it much better. Especially if there’s hardly any traffic. Ever since i try to do my tours where there’s mountains.

      If you take your time, low gearing, you’ll eventually be up there. Have a snack, drink a coke. Enjoy the view and fresh air

      edit: I also don’t train cycling at home or anything, don’t think riding to the pub and supermarket counts. But of course it wouldn’t hurt either. Now i am in good shape though, since i’ve been a good two weeks into the tour.
