Bike Marathon

25th July 2005, MOnday -- Bike marathon day. After a scrumptious breakfast, time for our bike marathon. Rented my bike from Samaden and then proceeded to Maloja.

'Papi,wie lang unser Fahrradmarathon ist?' (Papi, how long is our bike marathon?)
'42 km'

Yeah. I cycled together with my host family, 42km from Maloja to Zuoz!!! It is just not only on flat road. It was really up and down. esp the beginning. We went for the mountain biking way. Man, that was really tough! We couldnt cycle anymore. Had to get down and pushed our way up the MOUNTAIN!!! I finally know what mountain biking is. REally.

All I was looking forward to was going down. However, the way down was also as steep as the begining. After my accident during sports day, my new motto is : slow, but safe. My arms were sore from all the brekking. Cycled and cycled. Went through Pontresina, St Moritz, Sils, Silvaplana, etc, and finally arrived in Zuoz at 5.30. Woohoo! NO accidents! =P

Papi asked whether that was my longest bike marathon in my whole life. Till that day, the answer is yes. Dunno is I may have another oppurtunity like that. However, it was worth it. got to see spectecular mountain views, all the 5 lake views, everything!

St Moritz is one of my favourite kantons in Switzerland. Really breath taking. Winter view, summer view. Both unique in their own way. Love it.
