After moving on the roads of different continents in recent years, we are now looking for a new challenge in Switzerland.

We want to try to ride large parts of the National Mountain Bike Route Alpin Bike by tandem.

In order to prepare our trip and to clarify the feasibility, we have made several test rides. We saw that it is very likely that most of the route is rideable by tandem. However, we also saw clearly that there are sections that we will probably better bypass.

Further we will do without our camping equipment because of the weight and the gradients and try to spend the night in houses :-)

Now we start soon and see how far we get. Our time will probably not be enough even with ideal weather to cover the whole distance.

In the meantime most of the stuff is already packed. For once it is quite unusual not to have to load a trailer for a tandem vacation.... somehow there is something missing. But it is also very comfortable to travel by train and not have to disassemble the tandem completely.

We are now excited about what awaits us....
