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

The Tremola San Gottardo might slow me down, but accelerates my love for riding the Alps.

I don't know if you can tell who is the mountainbiker-slash-splitboarder among us. @guido_anderwert knows all these mountains covered in snow. I took him in my world of tarmac for one day. @lars.waser showed that a Madone can very well ride through the Alps - if you have the legs. And I... I had ice cream. What else?

The Furka is my favorite Swiss climb. First time I went alone. Second time I road with a friend. Third time we were three. A couple times more and we ride it up all together? 🤔😜

One thousand kilometers since @anyuchenay took this photo. We pass too many places that I'd love sharing. Early on Sunday, I'm taking off for adding the next set.

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...
