Chocolate is my vegetable, and ice cream is my fruit. German is my language, and Europe is my home.

When the rain caught me by surprise on top of the #sanetsch, for once I was happy that the descend wasn't a road. Without jacket and gloves, I'd have been freezing. Also, it makes for a unique road bike experience to go down by lift.
A week ago, I spent a happy weekend in Südtirol with @anyuchenay, @mathimuc, and his girlfriend. Gelato was included, and some long hours on the road were a welcome rest amidst some restless days. We'll be together again.
I often talk about how gelato stops are important elements of my Italian rides. It's only logical that I "joined" @q36_5 's Team Gelato. (i.e. purchased the jersey.)
One of the longest, one of the prettiest climbs in the Alps. An iconic bit on the Italian side of the Passo dello Spluga are the few very short switchbacks that are stacked on each other. Leads to lots of epic pictures that road cyclists dream of.
Me and Fausto, a story in four episodes. Fausto's monument stands next to the church of the Madonna del Ghisallo, 580m above Lago di Como. For decades, the local priest collected bicycle memorabilia and displayed them in the church. Today, long after his death, the church at the end of this iconic climb is a destination of "pilgrimage" for cyclists. Read: have an excuse for a day out at the Lario and its awesome deep blue waters and high altitude mountains on all sides. Today, I was nearly alone, but full of happiness about finally riding like it's Summer. Well, until the sweat started to run into my eyes...
Warm summer weather two days after the pass opening following a long period of cold: This is the perfect recipe for the first high altitudes ride of the season.
Sometimes you just catch the right conditions for a perfect ride. Today was that day.
Me and her, stones and the sea. For a change of routines, we took up a hike while we escaped the rain in Lombardy. Camogli is the place in Liguria I've visited most often. I've still discovered unseen treasures, like this abandoned fortress and that crack in the earth that told of how tectonics shape the earth.
Tulip time, but not at the usual place! When Spring in Switzerland brings up unexpected memories of riding in Holland.
