Day 1 Swiss Mini Tour

So I've finally managed to organise the little four day tour from Kaiseraugst that does a loop into the Mitteland and back along the Rhine. It utilises three of the Swiss national Cycle Routes (3,5 & 2) with one big climb today but pretty flat after that. This is good for Claire who joins me tomorrow (arriving by train in Kloten) and Sunday.

Today was a hard morning as I climbed out of Gelterkinden up to around 800m only to find a very foggy and cold summit after a sunnier ascent. The fog stayed all the way to Baden and it never quite as warm as expected even in the late afternoon sun here in Regensdorf.

In numbers: 93km, 950m climbing, 4900cals, 5hrs in saddle, highest pt 780m Times lost 1!
