My starting point:
Lake Lucerne, 434 m (1,424 ft), a lake with a lot of bends and arms reaching from the city of Lucerne into the mountains. (Click on pic to enlarge it).
After 10 miles the work starts over 15 miles with a climb of 1490 m.. (It took me 2 hours and 09 min with max pulse 178).
After almost two hours I can see the Klausenpass 1952 m / 6404 ft at the right site. But I still had two hard miles to go.
View down to the valley where the climb started...
It says dangerous route!
Unfortunately there were recently two casualties with dead people on that pass.
So down in the valley the police was warning the motorbike drivers to be careful. On a sunny day, there are up to 120 motorbikes passing you during the 2 hours up and the 30 min down.
(Actually I had for 1400 m down over 13 miles a time of 32 min which placed me 88th place out of 470 riders on Strava. Average speed: 40 km and max 65 km
