ABT034. Alpine Escapade
from The Accidental Bicycle Tourist Hosted by Gabriel Aldaz
Join me and my old buddy Jason Ruhl as we spend a week pedaling through the stunning landscapes of Southern Switzerland and Northern Italy, from Luzern to Jason’s charmingly rustic Italian retreat overlooking Lago Maggiore and back. Fueled by pure grit, espresso, and lots of pastries, we conquer iconic climbs like the Madonna del Ghisallo. We also explore the awe-inspiring Orridi di Uriezzo slot canyons and indulge in a serious Crodino blind taste test. Along the way, we meet locals whose help and advice shape our trip. Even the complete failure of my disc brakes, leading to a dramatic dash race against time to catch our train, is part of the unforgettable fun. All the sounds of our trip, from the church bells to the marching band, are part of this episode, which will hopefully inspire you to have your own escapade in this stunning corner of the Alps!
