Funny Interlaken - Mountain Pass Roulette

I got way too excited about this one!

I really live in a ridiculously beautiful place.

Must be great to ride around this area with all the corners around the mountains.

 

[SwissMotard]

It's absolutely amazing!

Such amazing colours. Beautiful.

It's one of the most striking things about Switzerland, all of the rivers have brilliant shades of blue and green to them, yet the lakes are so pure and crystal clear.

I have fond memories of Chatel on French/Swiss border. Ski lift carries your mountain bike up, you bike down into Switzerland and have a baguette and goats cheese (no joke).
Once your belly is full, get the ski lift back up and bike back down into France.

It's funny you mention that as I did similar recently with a little ski lift and a mountain go kart! The video's up on my channel if it tickles your fancy.

I'd love to get into the mountain biking side of things here. The Swiss are a little crazy though as they put the brakes on the wrong way around (right brake lever is the rear brake) and I almost killed myself on a push bike as a result.

Is goats cheese unusual? I've seen it a lot even in the UK.

Added your kart video to watch later playlist. Love the idea.

Yeah, the brakes round the other way caused a friend to wipe out on a hire bike when attempting a massive skid.
Got a massive skid on his face instead.

They do lots of cool things in the mountains during summer, I was quite surprised as I only really knew about the skiing in winter.

On the goat's cheese, I enjoyed it there, but didn't enjoy it when back home.
Must have been the good local stuff, not the "export" version.
Strong taste, soft cheese.

I can't stand it, but it seems to be everywhere I go these days.

Im getting fed up with you reminding me how shit the roads are in London lol ... spectacular scenery (again)

 

[SwissMotard]

If it makes you feel any better the riding season is now pretty much over, and there's no way you can bike through winter.

I'll have to ski instead
