Lugano, wauw nice lake!

Update #tourdupisa: Today i had a easy ride, 15 km in total šŸ™‚ But this stage had the steepest part of the tour du Pisa, 18%! Just a 200 meter but it was a hard part. Nu im checked in at the Montemarina Hostel in Lugano. Take a swim, go to the supermarket and found a nice place in the park to eat and watch people. Always good! After that i walked with my shiny feets to the main shopping street in Logano. What should i do, rent a waterbike or with the train uphill and walk down. For now to the hostel iā€™ll buy a to ticket uphill šŸ™‚

Cycling the St. Gotthard Pass…. Wauw!

Update #tourdupisa: the day of surprisesā€¦ Also this night i slept real good in my Hostel in Andermatt. Packed my bag and on my way to the Coop supermarket for some stuff. Bananas, Bread, Sweetyā€™s. I picked my energy gels out of my big bags into my small food bag. I dont know if its the morning or something else but the climb directly killed my legs. In the begin i spotted a sign 9 km with 630mtr up. Auw! another 7% climb. In the middle of the climb i found the ritm so that was nice. But 2km before the top there was en cobble stone road. Killed my legs another time. On the top of te st Gotthard Pass i toke a little rest so i can in a good condition downhill. On the road walked some cows with bells, real Swiss! Roads with no sidewalls and a max of 68 km/h downhill. Downhill thats nice! But the managers of the tour du pisa had something i didnā€™t expect. Another climb! 6 km with 5.5% steepness. In the beginning so steep that you can hear me scream for my mother i guess. Yesterday i found and booked a camping place ware i would go but that was behind another steep hill. My legs were killed 3 times today so i biked around the hill and found the camping. On my way i thought of some things where i can compare this stage with; i think a labor with twins.

BINGO, my legs are exploded

Update #tourdupisa: goal of today Altdorf. I started slow because there are some real mountains in this stage. That clubs started after the picture with the thumb at the lake šŸ˜‰ Till Altdorf is quite hard because of the climbs but i thought i could climb a little further to Andermatt. I used my GPS to check how long the climb would take $%^&*( and played the Maarten Ducrot BINGO in real life: ā€žwith my tong on the roadā€, Get this guy to his room ad bring him oxygen, From top to tow damaged, Tonight they can sweep the room with that guy.

At that moment BINGO!

I allready reached Wassen so that was nice. Tommorow a 12km climb to Andermatt. I booked a hostel for two days so i can enjoy the nice views and region. I donā€™t have any words more only pictures.
