Tour de Schwiiz 2008

Published by chris under biketour2008, biking

In a few hours a small group of us will depart on our “Tour de Schwiiz” bike tour through Switzerland.  My bags are packed and the weather forecast looks good.  I’m ready!

This is the fifth “Tour de Schwiiz”, which has evolved into an annual tradition with my friends.  This year we’re cycling down the Rhein Valley to Chur before turning west and into the Alps.  We’ll go over the Oberalppass and Furkapass and continue along the Rhone River in Wallis.  Our final destination is around Lausanne or Geneva, some 500km later.  Here’s a Google Map of the approximate route.

I’ll be posting updates from the road at mapmytour.com.  Stop by if you’d like to monitor our progress.  Wish us luck!
