Day 5 Europe Ride, Switzerland to Italy P1 of 2

Today marks our last day in Switzerland; by the end of the day, we will be in Italy.
It’s rainy, so we’ve put on our rain gear as we leave Meiningen. We are set to cross a mountain range with eight passes, including Grimsel and Furka Passes. We will pass by seven of them and descend from Gotthard Pass towards Italy.

This journey wouldn’t be a big deal on a sunny summer day, but the weather is not in our favour. We are concerned about heavy rain, cold temperatures, and the potential challenges we may face on our bikes. Unfortunately, we cannot wait for the weather to improve, reroute, or reschedule, as we are on a tight schedule. We must reach our next hotel or miss all our upcoming bookings.

Despite the weather conditions, we are determined and excited to take on the challenge and handle whatever comes our way. Let’s do this! That’s our plan.
