Leaving Zurich early we were quickly surprised to hit a 25% climb, this caused front wheel of bike to lift when you pressed on cranks – requiring you to hang over the front. Simon dropped out of his cleat and had to return to the bottom as you could not start halfway up, I managed to hold onto a post to restart the climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 150m the climb reduced to 13% for another 200 metres. We crossed over a number valleys following some wonderful lakes, bike paths running in vertical rock faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had lunch on the edge of a large lake before we continued to Bad Ragas to complete the days ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling lively we decided to cycle the additional 15 miles to Lichtenstein and rejoined the Rhine, on arrival in Vardus we realised it was really “Far Far Away”, even had a little pretend train for a bus driving down the street!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
