October 13, 2025,2025.10.13 Val Mara Cruel Hairpins and Soothing Sunset at Lago di Lugano Ride 💛🚵‍♀️💛

After work, I took a train to Lugano (which is only 20 minutes away) with two ride ideas: one easy along the lake, and the second with a little climb 😁 Where did I land? On 7 merciless hairpins of 18% gradient in Valle Mara, and the challenge was to keep 2 biggest cogs free (e.g., stay on 24 teeth) …

August 19, 2024,Rit (gevoelsmatig) boven de 100 km.Is het niet dat weet.

Nice ride.
Well, 'crossed' 2 countries, so to speak.
Opposite Lugano on the other side of the lake, the border runs through the water/lake, so to speak.
So also visited Switzerland.
On the way, 'spotted' turtles 🐢.
Encountered sections of 18%.
