Welcome back to my channel!
I’m taking on a 7-day cycling challenge in Switzerland: riding 50 km every single day for a total of 350 km!
Today is day 2 and I am cycling close to Lake Geneva 😁
Let’s get outside 🚴♀️🌿
Good morning. Today’s day two of my challenge. I’m just having my coffee and getting ready for cycling. has started. Hello friends, welcome back to my channel. And today’s ride, I’ve been riding right above Loausan is in a beautiful area. I’m already 10 km into my challenge. And I just didn’t record before because the start was quite uphill and I’m still on the process of going uphill. So that demands a lot and uh when I started it’s kind of difficult to get the phone and record but here we are. So we are in the middle of another vineyard even though we are quite far from the vineyard from yesterday and uh it’s quite warm but also with tons of clouds. Not sure if rain will come. I hope not. But yeah, we have to be ready. And yes, let’s go. plan. Very beautiful and very exhausting, but it’s so good at the same time. Really, I love is the beauty through the pain. Beautiful day. Another beautiful day to be alive. Look at that. So there we have Lan down there. And then we have the beginning of the Alps. There, there, there. Still facing the same lake, but from a different perspective. Beautiful. And all the way down there at the end of it, we have Geneva. This was the Switzerland we were looking for. Look at this. I love I love cycling in these areas where there is pretty much nothing. Just you and your bike. Beautiful places. Today is the Swiss National Day. So that’s why it look like Sunday, but it’s actually a Friday. And back to the road. So, I just stopped here to eat some haribu that I I found actually in one of the pockets of my bag here. And they’re quite hard because they’ve been sitting in here for like months. Hey, so I’m just in the middle of pretty much nowhere in the countryside. Hey, guess who wants haribu? That’s not for you. Hey, it’s so cute. Curious. I’m halfway through with my climb. So when I finish I will do another break. Have to continue there. Okay, let’s get going. He’s coming with me. Another crazy climb I just did. Oh my god. So, this is either going to kill me or make it stronger. There was a cyclist that passed me. Super fast cycling standing. Oh my god, how is it possible? I wonder if one day I’ll become one of those. I mean, the good part is that I don’t give up. But still, I wish I could be a little bit faster. Getting there. Getting there. Getting there. No. It started raining. I’m exactly on top of a cloud. What should I do? Not that I was expecting. Started raining and I’m just in this beautiful place all by myself. Look at this. Still haven’t reached the final point yet of climbing, but this is just beautiful. You have the lake down there. You have the mountains. Not sure if you guys can see. Well, wow. Look at that. And I have to continue on this way. And I hope it’s not going to rain a lot. Really? I hope so. It’s raining down there as you can see some clouds. And in any case, let’s continue. I actually just decided to enter this road which brings me actually nowhere. There is a that end but it’s just beautiful here. Even though there is some sun, it’s kind of cold. It’s not raining at the moment. It was raining. Not anymore. So, I just decided to sit down here and grab my tiny little sandwich that I brought. Put my sunglasses. Bread with some Korea cheese. Swiss cheese. Going down. Woohoo. Oh my god. I should not try to film this. 40 km in a little bit more than halfway through. We’re almost in Loausan. I guess in 8 km or so. I again miscalculated. I’m getting annoyed and tired, but I should not because yeah, I actually I’m getting annoyed and tired of thinking of cycling the same route again when I get to Lausan. But yeah, so I did all the downhill part which was kind of challenging because of the rain. So the road was wet. But now I’m on the lower part and I think I might need to go up again. Not sure. Let’s enjoy it. Found a very nice trail where I can do some gravel. And please, I don’t do a lot of gravel here around. I do a lot of road hiking even though I have a gravel bike. Yeah, I’m just profiting from it. That’s so cool. I’ve been here once. I just don’t remember. I came back to Lzan faster than I thought. Or actually the route I took led me here faster than I thought. So I didn’t uh finish my 50 km. It’s still missing 12. So what I have to do now, I have to go get some water cuz I’m super thirsty. I didn’t find the fountains on the way. Normally I do in any case. And then I have to finish this 12 km. But I kind of feel like going home. Like I want to go home and that’s it. But obviously I cannot because I Yeah, it’s part of the challenge. But when you’re far away from home, you have to go back home either ways. But when you’re already at home, you feel like so I’m just doing a 5 minutes break, get some water, and yeah. Yeah, the weather is interesting. It’s kind of cold. is kind of cloudy. I got some rain on the way. It’s still nice and special. Two more kilometers. Two more and up there. Woohoo. Almost. I just decided to come down to the lake to finish this episode. I finally rounded 50 kilometers. Yay. Difficult, but we made it. And yeah, the sun is out and this is a beautiful place. Look at this. See you on the next episode.
