The Ride 2026: voorproefje van wat ons te wachten staat
Zaterdag is de enige dag waar je zelf iets kan organiseren, wandelen, fietsen, zwemmen, niets doen, etc. Na een laat maar uitgebreid ontbijt ben ik aangehaakt bij een groepje en naar een dorpje gereden, na een terrasje weer via dezelfde route terug.
Morgen begint het echte werk

Klein landje, maar altijd genoeg te zien
Oude paleizen, bossen, heide, meren, bunkers, vliegtuigen spotten, grote zeesluis, duinen, zee, waterkeringen, Rotterdamse havengebied, oude steden, etc.
Ook al vermaak ik mij prima op zo'n rit, mijn knieën en kont zijn er minder gelukkig mee. Voorlopig het maar weer bij kleinere rondjes houden.

Not a bad route, if it hadn't been so hot. Especially the hill I had to climb in the first 20 kilometers was a tough one that cost me 2 bottles of water. I also made several pit stops at fountains for extra cooling.
Once down it was nice, unfortunately you have to get back to work yourself. But once you

Before breakfast I walked a short round through the shopping street, and then left the village with some reluctance after breakfast. I actually liked it here. The residents are friendly, there seems to be no stress and everyone seems to be chatting with each other. I actually got the same feeling as

Today a late start, partly because of the short route and partly because I could only get to my next accommodation late in the afternoon. So everything started at a leisurely pace with the day.
Once on the bike I noticed that the previous day had taken its toll. No muscle pain but mainly legs that could

I knew that today would be a long day of cycling. Not necessarily because of the number of kilometres but mainly because of the combination with the amount of climbing.
It would start with the Gotthard Pass and then move on to the Furka Pass and then end with the Grimsel Pass.
3 big climbs but fortunately

Today I had to cross a mountain range, I had 2 options but based on the weather forecast for next week it became the Klausenpass. I think it is the highest route I would cross with luggage so far. Quite exciting....
Unfortunately the day started with rain, but fortunately that stopped after a few kilometers

The forecast didn't promise much good: rain, rain and more rain.
Once underway, the first 8km turned out to be very challenging. No idea where that went wrong, but I can't imagine that this was a normal cycling route. Large boulders, muddy paths, road surface that suddenly went down a "step". This was

That predicted sunny and dry day changed halfway up the Fluelapass. Fortunately, it remained limited to small drops that provided the much-needed cooling at times. Because it was quite a struggle. But once at the top, the rain was less pleasant. The wind was blowing quite hard there, which made you suddenly

It's true what they say: "only easy day was yesterday" 😋
What should have been an easy day quickly changed when it started to rain. And the rain actually started when I cycled out of the street.
Fortunately, the km today was not too bad, but the bike and I quickly looked like we had taken a dip in a mud

Last day of cycling after which I am picked up and go back home by car. Much nicer, faster and more fun than a Flixbus.
It was not the most inspiring cycling route today, this part of the Rhine is like a Dutch canal. Long straight stretches with the occasional gentle bend, where you can see everything
