Title: Riding the Alps
Post by: carraway on September 04, 2008, 02:23:47 PM
Just returned from an Edelweiss tour of Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Germany.  Everything about this was amazing.  Highlights included riding the Passo dellow Stelvio Loop, 9000 ft. 48 switchbacks, Silvretta Loop and Timmelsjoch Loop.  The tour was fantastic, the hotel was first rate, the food was excellent and the guide knew the region in detail.  We travelled roads that twisted and turned in ways that would make a ballerina blush. If you are planning on a ride through Europe I strongly suggest you check Edelweiss out.  I am already saving my nickels and dimes for the Tuscany trip.

What did you ride on? Would it be to much to ask that it was a monster?

I loved riding in the Alps, only got to ride in Germany, but then again, I was on a business trip and it was completely paid for. ;D

Yeah, where are those pictures?

Did the trip take you through Grossglockner?  Hope so or you got robbed of some primo riding.  Man, I miss Italy!!!  Riding in South Georgia is not the same.

I ride through beautiful country all the time I ride and I don't have any pictures or video .

Does that mean the miles I have on my odometer don't exist ?  Dolph

Maybe it's lost on you, but it's kind of a running joke. Even the OP got it....
