[QUOTE="Cello II, post: 585525, member: 6923"] Thank you guys for chatting up the good rides. I plunged in this year to finally get my "Riding the High Alps" under my belt without consulting those of you who know what you are doing. I'm arriving in Munich 6/30 to rent a 1200GSA for 9 days, @4260kms and @72 passes. At that pace I have to do it alone and hope for as little rain as possible. I'm trying to get most of my high stuff in before 1300-1400 hrs daily. I really am benefitting from what others have posted, and I sincerely thank you!!! I get to do all the standard high mountains including the Col de Iseran to the west, the Dolomites to the south, and as far east as the Salzkammergut and Hengstpass. Two days include in excess of 15 passes each......weather and traffic permitting. I'm assuming 400-550 km days are very doable for someone who will be on the bike at 0600 and expects to ride with few breaks until 2000 hrs. One of my days has recently grown to 865 km, which in California is an ordinary good daily ride in our mountains, but may be a bit long there. Adjustments will probably be made. Thanks again for sharing. It is greatly appreciated. Alan [/QUOTE]
