As the Gigathlon is coming soon, I was looking for a short trip today by avoiding hills as much as possible. I set up this trip, which is quite nice.
As soon as you have left the annoying redlights of the city you’ll practically only cycle on cycling pathes from Veloland Schweiz! I did that on purpose by using the opencyclemap layer on gpies while planning.
I must say, Veloland Schweiz does a terrific job by finding nice cycling pathes. Unfortunately there is no way, to get their data as a digital copy and some parts are not usable for racing bikes (unpaved roads). But the group of openstreetmap / opencyclemap do a great job as well. There are already quite a lot of Veloland Schweiz tracks on their map, which is great to plan a trip (you’ll also see if the road is paved or not)! I already contributed as well on their project by adding some trails and will do it in the future as well.
Highlights of this trip are:
- Unique airport where you’ll cycle quite near to the airplanes
- some funny curvaceous parts
- the Katzensee

ARe you sure you can cover 50km in 2 hours, given the 500m elevation? I find it surreal… But I a not a professional biker,truth be said.
