That was a very beautiful tour in Ticino with a short detour into 🇮🇹......

After work, I took a train to Lugano (which is only 20 minutes away) with two ride ideas: one easy along the lake, and the second with a little climb 😁 Where did I land? On 7 merciless hairpins of 18% gradient in Valle Mara, and the challenge was to keep 2 biggest cogs free (e.g., stay on 24 teeth) …
Nice ride.
Well, 'crossed' 2 countries, so to speak.
Opposite Lugano on the other side of the lake, the border runs through the water/lake, so to speak.
So also visited Switzerland.
On the way, 'spotted' turtles 🐢.
Encountered sections of 18%.
