Tour de Suisse - The 4 day Julie since when? Since 3 weeks in Honduras in 1996? Wow. Could be.
The LHT was a huge success. I love it. On the second day of the trip when I was still tired from the time change, I cycled over Col du Pillon. It's a 1200m climb from Lac L?man. After about 1000m the road steepens to 11%. My bike's fully loaded. I flipped it into the lowest gear and spun over the pass. Incredible. With the bike loaded I never felt like the high gear was too low. I still haven't taken the bike down a steep hill without bags, but I plan on doing that soon. I rode Flagstaff and Sunshine Canyon last Sunday but on my road bike with (for my first time!) clipless pedals. Oh, that's another story.
I flew in and out of Geneva. I arrived in the morning, dropped my bike box at Isabelle's apartment and pedalled out of town in the early afternoon. In a daze I cycled along the lake, entered France, walked through Yvoire, and found a fantastic place to camp on a river near Thonon-les-Bains. Oh, France, what a wonderful place!
The following day I was sad to leave France but even sadder to leave French-speaking Switzerland. The abrupt change came at Col du Pillon. In Les Diablerets it's all French. Just on the other side of the pass in Gstaad it's all German. I was afraid of this simply by looking at the names on the map. I confirmed it during my first conservation in Gstaad. I spoke French, and the person claimed not to speak any French. We continued our conversation in English. I speak no German. Of my two German phrases, sprehjer zie english? and sprehjer zie franz?sisch?, the former proved to be far more useful. In actuality I know a few more sentences, and the one I probably used the most was ich sprehjer kien deutsch.
Gstaad and Les Diablerets are situated in beautiful, high valleys. This area was the most spectacular I visited. I've added Les Diablerets to the list of places I'd like to spend a year studying French.
I pedalled through Spiez, Interlaken, Luzern on my way to Z?rich where I saw Andreas for the first time since he and Brigitte drove out of Annecy in their Mobility car two years ago. Julie and I met and Andreas and Brigitte cycle-touring in Utah in 1999. It was great fun to see him again.
I spent a few hours cycling around Z?rich on Friday. This city must have the best cycling facilities of anywhere I've ridden: lots of sign for bikes, lots of bike lanes, off-street bike paths, signals specifically for bikes, and lots of bikes. Yellow lines on the roads are for bikes; white lines are for cars. Bikes can pull up in front of cars, pick their lane (for a left turn, e.g.) and often leave before the cars on their own signal. When I gushed about the facilities, savy Swiss folks asked me if I'd been to Basel. The bike facilities there are supposed to be even better than in Z?rich. Real savy folks asked me if I'd ridden in Copenhagen, better than Basel apparently. Oh, I must go there and pedal!
Andreas and I pedalled together through the Mitteland for two days. We parted at some dot on the map called Buttisholz, and I continued on to Bern to catch the train to Lausanne for the conference. The conference went by quickly as expected. I learned a lot and realize there's a lot more to learn. GIS is becoming much more integrated in mainstream IT, mostly for the better. Ah, that's another story. Back home I gave a short presentation at work about the conference, but we need a more focused plan forward. Ugh, that job falls on my shoulders.
After raining in the morning it was sunny when I left Pascal's house on Friday afternoon. Quickly I realized I was pedalling toward a dark storm. It was storming over Geneva so I dawdled during an extended late second lunch in Morges. The following day I had a great sunny day for my last day of cycling. On the whole I had exceptionally hot and sunny weather for September. I suppose my swim in Lac L?man with Isabelle could be considered the official end of the summer.
Two vehicles not in the collection at Alford, but from different generations of the local company fleet, are Alexander PC1 (BMS222), a 1952 Leyland Royal Tiger now preserved by Stagecoach, and Northern Scottish NPE102 (JSA 102V), a 1980 Leyland Leopard. Lurking in the background is JFM 238D, a Bristol Lodekka new to Crosville but preserved in the colours of Glenlivet and District.
Now the MVP’s pose with their trophies. Sitting: Andrea Beck, Kayla Bruton. Front: Renee Walters, John Klaves, Faith Caspers, Kayla Walters, Alexa Dawson. Back: Nicholas Funk, Joshua Anumolu. Missing: Jacob Dickman.

If fresh mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, San Marzano tomato sauce, pecorino, reggiano ain't enough flavor, grab some spices!
Added a steering wheel cover from faux leather with red stitching (from Aliexpress).
Gives a lot more grip and looks a lot more modern.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
