Road Bike 6:40:00 139.05 km (20.9 kph) +3580m
Plan was to do Umbrail and then Stelvio, starting from Tirano. On top of Umbrail, I decided to cut it short as I felt tired. Continued to Passo di Stelvio, rode down some 2km on the other side and climbed to the top again. On the way back home to Tirano, I felt better again and thus decided to add some more climbing by doing the first third of Mortirolo from Mazzo. All in all I did quite a bit of climbing, however, nothing compared to stone who did the originally planned route with some 4500m of climbing!

9 AM
Road Bike 5:00:00 90.0 km (18.0 kph) +3100m
Riding the famous Mortirolo from Tovo (1:14h), the toughest of all Mortirolo ascents, some 5h ahead of the Giro peloton. While the average is "only" 10.5%, the last part has some long 20-22% sections on very rough concrete which are a real killer. Even the pros looked not fluid at all in this section. We continued down to Monno and Edolo in order to do the climb again from the other side. This uphill is hardly known but actually has some even steeper sections with max. gradients of 25%. Legs were good today, really enjoyed it those steep climbs. On top of the mountain, we followed the "Kammstrasse" back to Passo Mortirolo and watched the Giro some 1km below the GPM.

Road Bike 7:45:00 185.0 km (23.9 kph) +4000m
St. Moritz-Chiavenna-Splügenpass-Thusis-Julier-St. Moritz (GPS file stops in Thusis, battery empty). My longest tour on the road bike ever, with stone. Only two passes but those were long; Splügen 1800 climbing meters on 31km uphill, Julier was even longer. We even pushed hard on the Julier on the last 4-5km. Legs were ok, in particular considering the effort of the previous two days. I'm getting more and more confident for the Transalp. Added again some 30 climbing meters to make it 4000m.

Road Bike 5:50:00 144.65 km (24.8 kph) +3000m
The classic Flüela-Albula loop. Again poor legs on the Flüela, suffered and got dropped. Legs magically recovered during the ride and was doing fine again on the Albula, riding a good pace on the last kms. We added some extra 30 climbing meters at the very end to make it straight 3000m :)

Road Bike 5:25:00 144.0 km (26.6 kph) +2150m
Plan was to do Pragel and Ibergeregg but at 1370m a.s.l., the road was still covered with snow and thus we had to turn. Did Sattelegg instead where I started to seriously struggle after the first half, was probably dehydrated and even had to stop at some point. Down to Einsiedeln to do some fieldchecking for the Milchsuppe OL in June. Back home by train.

5 PM
Road Bike 2:50:00 77.0 km (27.2 kph) +1100m
Commute in the morning, ASVZ ride in the everning. Very uneven pace, got the impression that some guys just had to compensate their limited climbing abilties with hard efforts in the flats. I didn't mind but it makes the whole ride nervous and shaky. Still feeling tired but legs turned quite ok.

Road Bike 1:17:09 [2] 34.1 km (26.5 kph) +560m

Road Bike warm up/down 20:00 [2] 7.0 km (21.0 kph) +100m
Short warm-up, we were late as always.
3 PM
Road Bike race 56:00 [4] 34.0 km (36.4 kph) +440m
Berner Rundfahrt, short course (as my team wanted to win the team trophy).
Tactic was to attack on the steep hill some 10km into the race (Frienisberg) and maybe pull some guys with me. However, once I started my attack, I realized that I had no power in my legs... Barely made the first group on the GPM and then stayed in that group until the finish stretch where I got outsprinted by most of the guys in the group. 7th overall, 1st team. Noteworthy is the weather; was cold and raining all day, not my favourite conditions.

Early bird ride with Ivo. Great freeling to ride with the sun rise. We pushed a bit on the Pfannenstil, legs ok but some soreness from Tuesday.

6 PM
Road Bike 1:27:00 36.0 km (24.8 kph) +450m
First club race VC Jona, "Prolog", 4.0km from Ermenswil to Diemberg with around 90m climbing, gradient varying from slightly downhill to a max. of around 6%. Happy with my performance (07:16) as I only lost some 9sec to Snowpatriot/George on 2./3. place and was 15sec faster than chris_b! :) And this on a course which doesn't really suit my light build. Must be the bike... ;)
Nice cool-down loop to Goldingen, Laupen.

Road Bike 2:25:00 58.59 km (24.2 kph) +700m
Supporting ms_treegarden at the SOLA and then doing a loop on my own, incl. 2x Regensberg at threshold pace (5:00, 5:06). Split timers are a bit disappointing considering my best time of 4:20 but legs were not super fresh. Pleasant weather, raining for the whole 2.5h, character building ;)

Road Bike 3:50:00 104.06 km (27.1 kph) +1840m
ASVZ, Aegerisee etc. Some strong guys today, incl. E. Pooley. Tried to ride all the hills hard (Albis ab Schwerzistrasse 10:30, Gottschalken, Ramenegg 12% avg!) but legs were still sore. Overall feeling ok, the solid mileage starts to pay off.
