First Climb Training in 2015 - "Forch" in Pourring Rain and Pretty Cold


Today it was raining strongly - but still then Switzerland has some safe and still challenging routes like the Forch with a 500 overall climb from the City of Zurich.

Some statistics: Distance 48,9km Time: 2:02:54
Overall climb: 525m
Average speed: 23,9km/h max: 51,8km/h
Main thing are good clothes against cold and wet. From right I was wearing normal 1) bike shorts and base line a thermo shirt 2) Bike shirt short with "Ärmlingen" 3) Gilet against the wind 4) Assos rain-jacket that should keep you dry for 4 hours, but today so much water was coming down, that I felt wet after 1 1/2 hours.

After the downhill from Forch (670 m) - which was pretty fresh, I could enjoy the green meadows with a view on the highst Zurich mountains (1270 m).
