Another in our series of epic Swiss rides. This was the mother of them
all - train into the Vallee de Joux, which is already a fairly high
station, and then around the lake on a stunning morning.
There was some kind of cow festival, so we had to stop and wait for the
steaks to pass. Or they may have been dairy I guess. Riding on the rode
they had passed was not particularly fun, since for some reason it was
a bit more slippery than normal...oooh, gross.
Then we went up. And up. And up. I am not sure exactly how far, but it
was the biggest pass I have ever been over, and at one point I thought
we'd be better off just leaving our bikes and walking. Fortunately we
made it over the top, and then 22km of downhill to Lake Geneva made up
for it!
And a random photo of Kel's new ski boots. She also bought skis, so she is ready to go!
