Definitely not as spectacular as @turtle’s pictures, but since we’re doing pictures above the fog, I’ll post it anyway
And into the fog
Where is this?
On the way from Ibergeregg down to Schwyz. I took the cablecar up to Rothenflue.
Thank you for the links. It looks nice but extremely steep on the map.
Did you have to change your brake pads afterwards? ![]()
It’s not as steep as it looks - the really steep trails are in the Canton of Uri, where I - at least with my current skill level - still prefer two wheels and suspension.
However, it’s steep enough that I had to push several times because I’m still very much a beginner. My brake pads are fine but my fingers asked me to replace the 160cm disc with something larger and buy a proper brake. Right now I’m using a cheap Shimano brake I had lying around from a bicycle.
I grew up in a place that was regularly above the cloud layer. Sadly it was about 400 meters of altitude above the village such that going to school often meant diving into the clouds. On good days when the road was covered in snow we could at least use a sledge to go to school which we enjoyed a lot.
An hour and a half around Sherwood Pines, with a bit of trespassing onto “The Cursed Earth” and the disused railway line from the quarry. This photo was on the way back to the car park when I saw the tree stump covered with moss and a bloom of yellow fungus, surrounded by autumn leaves.
I’ve always thought that a foggy, dark evening, with someone on a 36er and a sheet covering themselves and the wheel… it would look pretty great, the way they’d be gliding along so fast. I always wanted to just film that sort of scene, but never got around to it.
Is that a sun pillar that we see here?
Maybe yes. I wasn’t aware of this phenomenon before.
Cute! And welcome back on unicyclist.com! ![]()
Lighted wheels, anyone?
I’ll probably fix it up to look better in the future, but that was a quick dollar-store-lights-and-painter’s-tape thing.
(It also is a lot brighter in real life…)
