Pragelpass (1550 m)

After 5 km and the first climb of 340 m in 20 min.... "Klöntalersee"

This is the graphic of the Pragelpass that is with over 1000 m climbing middle difficult of all the Swiss Passes.

At 11 km and 900 m altitude I am almost half-way, but the tough part is still coming. So I have a nice look back on the lake and on the "Glärnisch" mountain-range of 2901 m.

On top of Pragelpass. For the 21 km and 1040 m up took me 1 hour and 25 min. Could be that it is a PB. So I am quite pleased that my first ride in the Alps went well.

So here is the result which puts me around in the middle on Strava.
I guess most riders are a little younger and a little lighter than me. My pulse was with 160 quite close to my max.
Surprisingly - although not a cyclist - going down I was on place 44!
