Is this the first bike on a bridge post here? Well it is not a bridge actually, so the first is still up for grabs. It’s on the last dam about before grimselpass in switzerland, maybe 200m below it. I knew i was in for some sportscars and motorbikes stinking up the scenery, it was sunday after all. I didn’t expect the piaggio vespa riders from alpine countries to have a meeting somewhere, which were like 250 machines extra, conservative guess. Still, the landscape up grimsel was absolutely phenomenal. I originally wanted to sleep somewhere up there but it was early so i kept going and rode furkapasstooo. It’s like 400m down from grimsel and then another 700 up.
Boy was it gorgeus, the whole day (other than the motorbikes). This photo was taken just a tad bit below furkapass, the serpentines coming into the valley in the distance were the downhill from grimsel:
This was todays route.

Wow! Those pictures are breathtaking, it must have been quite the experience to bike through there!
Absolutely, not even the traffic could spoil it. Up to furka was much less though, thank god.
Is Jerboa linking simple numerical values for everybody else too?
