Because of much more snow in the Swiss mountains as usual this time of the year and still snowing at high altitude again, Sustenpass is now expected to be open June 25th. As a result of this, ITT will be possible from July 8th on.

The grand depard of the second edition of the Swiss Bike Adventure will be on June 26th at Andermatt.

After cycling 380km in the first 24h, Kai (2nd in the first NorthCape-Tarifa bicycle adventure) had some technical problems at day 2. Broken inner shifter cable in the August heat. 3th day folowed with several flats and then he came into several storms. Running out of time to make it back to work, Kai decided to finish the route another time. He cycled in the night in heavy rain over Furkapass, Grimselpass, Brünig to Luzern, from where he took the train back to Basel. That was an other impressive 320km over a view high mountain passes in one day.

Congrats Kai for what you done! See you soon…
