This is the first time I went on a training ride on the road bike in Switzerland. I rented a bike in Geneva and planned to ride up Col des Pitons all the way….. That did not go to plan… The road I planned was closed because of a lot of snow so I had to improvise a little to get my ride in! Geneva is a very cool place to ride and definitely want to come back to explore more of it!

Mountaineering tip to warm your hands when they are very cold: swing your arm in helicopter motion, the force will pull blood into your hands.
Many nice rides around Geneva! May I propose a flat ride next time, around the lake that had so much water 😉 Some sections of it remind me of being back home in Norway with the fjords and the mountains 🙂
Looks like most of this ride was in France, based on the road infrastructure. Fun ride!
I lived close to Salève for almost a year and I hiked it 3 or 4 times, amazing views up there! I do regret not having cycled it though 😥
I had an old steel bike at the time with a 23 tooth maximum cassette at the back, my form was also not that good, it would have been impossible for me to climb up there 🥵
Yayyyyyy! Welcome back!
Love your videos! Excited for more epic adventures 🤤
Gleitschirm Launch right there.
Great video. Your flying – cycling experiences in Europe are going to be super I think.
Thank you…….. Hoping to visit the Swiss Alps some day.
You're tough riding out there in the snow. My spoiled California a** wouldn't be able to hang. Great video!
Let us know when you are in Zurich – there is a bunch of Elite/Pro riders around here ready to take you around some cool rolling terrains!
I love watching your videos. Thank you for uploading. I live in California, miss your USA cycling videos.
What erj are you gonna be flying the most? As a passenger I always end up on erj-145 or erg-175 on DFW -SGF leg.
Epic adventure, I think you ventured over into France at some point there haha!
Great to have you back!
The train tracks would have been the death of me.
Loved this video Jasper… 🍻🍻👌
I guess what sucks the most about the new schedule is that it's now significantly time-consuming to visit the city-centre to pick up a bike before riding back out of town to hit the nice long country roads.
But KLM planes have bike racks on them, right? You can start riding at the airport surely?
This is some beautiful country. I've driven from there to customers in Besançon and Lausanne. Both beautiful too.
And the cheese in Besançon!
Really cool Jasper! Will be interesting to see what rides you can dig up! Hopefully not all of them in the snow 🙂
What destinations do you fly to and how long in advance do you get your schedule? If they open up Linköping Amsterdam again and you fly that route I can help you out with a bike.
Welcome back on the "real bike", 😊 My wife and I spent 2 weeks touring Switzerland in May 2007 and had an awesome time. Only one full day of rain.
Thanks for this. I'm always looking for new Europfean cycling adventures. I rode in Italy based on one of your videos. Experience of a lifetime. Now I'm going to check out the kit you're wearing.
I live in the mountains in Japan, riding in winter is all about not trying to sweat but go hard enough to keep warm 😉If you get wet underneath from sweat you’re going to freeze going downhill
Great video in Switzerland 🇨🇭 virtual
Geneva is a bit busy for my taste but I spend my summers in Lavaux! (Usually July-August) I know some really really remote routes with many cat 1 and even XC climbs! Some of the best cycling I've ever done! Otherwise, I live in Dublin and we have some great cycling here, better than Switzerland IMO
Really 'cool' ride🤘🤘
Hahahaha
So great to see you back at it, Jasper!
"just a lake…" well, at least the largest in switzerland & france as well as one of the largest in whole of western europe… 😉 on a side note: the river rhone is running through the lake and that river actually has its source on the rhone glacier which lies right next to the famous belvedere hotel on the iconic furka pass… 🙂
Let's ride the "Col de la Faucille" in the Jura mountain, start from Gex, about 15km far from Geneva, when you come back for work 😉 It's an 11 kms climb 6.3% average
Cheers
Nice that you are riding in my country and enjoying it 👍
The place you spoke to that kind guy is named "col de la croisette" if you come back to Geneva try to climb the most direct way from "Collonge sous saleve". 6km @12% 😁
Hey, heb je een video over hoe je op de fiets filmt? Of tips hierover? Gebruik je een GoPro?
Hmmm, no mention of the fact that you're actually in France?
you are a very nice person Jasper.Always a pleasure to see you and one of your videos. XXXXXXXXXX
Lekker man 🔥
Great, good way to combine pilot work where u sit down qorh some cardio and being able to look around.. Come to the Netherlands
Realising what i was missing in my life: Jasper riding somewhere foreign. 💪
Also try Bcyclet in Geneva for bike rentals and routes.
Welcome back Jasper! Come to Vienna, perfect for road cycling. Or mtb. Or gravel. Even for tt…
when u going to us again ?
Jea he is back come to Austria
Haha, jij volgt tips snel op! 3 minuten geleden gecomment in een ander (blijkbaar oud) filmpje, en nu fiets je al in GVA rond! Col de la Faucille is ook mooi.
Hey Jasper, would be delighted to welcome you in England. What are the chances of you being scheduled to Stansted or Norwich even?
You enjoying new job??
Nice video Jasper – you are a tough rider – Geneva is nicer in the summer.
if you are in madrid try to ride las 7 revueltas and Morcuera you will see this is probably one of the best moment in my life very climby but scenery
Hi Jasper, I found you from last Francis Cade video. I have to disappoint you : most of your trip was in France, including the closed road, even the Col des Pitons in completely in France. Clickbait title 😋 Nice trip & video anyway 😄 Subscribed 👍 Have fun with the project, it looks amazing !
I had to laugh so hard when I saw you freeze your a** off. I live in Luzern (central part of Switzerland) and winter riding can be quite tough sometimes. Happy riding!
