Selected photos from my ride from Florence, Italy to Bern, Switzerland
In May/June, 2019 I rode from Florence, Italy to Bern, Switzerland via the French Alps. It took just short of 4 weeks and featured spectacular terrain, wonderful people, and fabulous memories.
I've culled through the nearly 2000 photos I took and have selected 56 pictures to provide some idea of what the ride offered.

Looks like you had a nice trip. Beautiful photos. I camped in Martigny and climbed up the Col del la Forclaz to see the finish of a stage of the TDF. Also watched a finish in Bern two days prior to that. Wish I had more time to see the area as you did. Can’t wait to get back there.

Very nice, reminds me of those old-fashioned souvenir post-card-type books. Heh, those cols would kill me for sure.

Every lane is a bike lane
Well done.
On another note, I might just find myself heading that way next year.

Thank you raybo for the nice photography. As an antique or vintage randonneur and an armchair National Geographic enthusiast I really enjoyed your visuals. The rain days you encountered were much appreciated by yourself I imagine. Regards.
