Christos Kalampokas was our 5th finisher

1st of August 2024 exact 19:00 arrived Christos Kalampokas at the little devil in Andermatt. Christos finished the 1400km long route in 5 days and 13 hours.

As surprise his girlfriend waited at the finish for him. The two worked last year at a farm on the Chasseral. That’s where they heard first time about the Swiss-BikeAdventure when riders past in front of the farm. Soon later Christos who works this summer as a bicycle mechanic registered for the this years race.

Congratulations Christos, well done!
