Spinning Through the Alps

A significant portion of our training camp in Switzerland was done on the bike with multiple climbing opportunities and mountain pass loops. Jasper and I brought a camera up Goschenen on a 4 hour ride which basically captured the essence of euro-riding (especially in the mountains). 
Tight, windy roads...
Small traditional Euro towns every few km...
Perfect pavement...
Roads built into the side of mountains...
Traditional cobble stone portions....
Another typical portion cut straight into the side of the mountain...
And of course phenomenal destinations!
Every trip to Switzerland reminds me why I love riding so much. So many climbs that recreate what I watch on TV in the Tour de France every year and fast 80-90km/h decents to keep you on your toes. Very fortunate to have this opportunity!
