Cheers Stu and Richzx6r. I get what your saying. I guess I'm hoping someone says yes I've done it and it was great. Have been checking out routes and distances and realise its a trek in 5 days.
I had planned a tour to Switzerland but due to a change of job and limited leave I can only take 5 days. I'd still like to go to ride one or two of the passes and see the Alps. I'm about 220 miles from the tunnel so am reckoning on 2 days to get to the Alps and 2 days back with just one full day in Switzerland. Would you still do it or leave it for another year? It would be a solo tour on an MT10 using hotels which I'd pre-book to save time.
