Exploration is the name of the game at the moment. I have to admit, Zurich has some great mountain bike trails but I quickly realised it comes nowhere near Dublin when in terms of quantity and variety of riding. Too many fireroad climbs and not enough singletrack. I was almost starting to get bored until I got on a train to Zug and was shown around by some of the locals. Suddenly the climbs got technical, the descents steeper, the riding more varied. Happy days.
Today I re-discovered road biking after 6 weeks off due to my bike still being in Dublin. Nice climbs, long descents with swooping corners and super smooth wide roads. Speed is fun. Even found a mid-ride bakery open on a Sunday. Awesome.
