A little Tour of Switzerland: Section One -- Seewis to Bern
Starting a little Tour de Swiss.
Day one Seewis to Bern to visit one of Py's oldest bike buddies :) Rushing down from Seewis on 900m to Landquart riding along the Rhein and Walensee -- a little morning chill in the still shaded valley but resisting the pull out the jacket again as used for the initial decent. Passing along some magnificent views of the lake Walensee and adjacent majestic 2000m tall near vertical wall with the tiny village Quineten at it's foot on the opposite of the long lake. Passing a cool bike tunnel... and eventually making it to the foot of the first climb over Sattelegg. Descending into Einsiedeln via Sihlsee.
Continuing via Rotherthurm and Art Goldau and via Küssnacht to the city of Luzern. Lunch break.
Then heading on up some at that point tough climb and over Entlebuch -- it was getting hot -- to Langnau to finally reach the destination of the day, Bern to see Beni.

Py's New Paltz Roubeaux 4 Cols Explorations -- Evolving
Another quick note on Py's NP ride.
Based on previous route
http://pyzahl.blogspot.com/2015/05/pys-new-paltz-roubeaux-2nd-edition.html
this year's -- 2017 -- first ride from NP got some what late. Cold odd early/spring weather and so on... still way cold some what for June.
However, again no one else than Mark seamed up for the challenge of some eventually new lands and roads. But it was an Epic ride once again. Some sun, a few sprinkles at the Gunks covered in dark clouds, then clearing up fast. And just before approaching the last climb a missing bridge forced them to take a detour and add some bonus miles.
