August 23, 2000 Flims to Raron (bus to Andermatt to begin riding)
Day 236
The schedule got really screwed up today. We were supposed to take a bus half way and ride over the last pass of the Swiss Alps, but the bus ride was too long or something, so TK&A put us on a train. Of course the train didn’t give us the option of doing 1/2 the ride, we had to take it to the end. It was a beautiful train ride and would have been a wonderful 2 day bicycle ride, it only I had known sooner. Oh well….
I did get to ride to the train station and then from the station. It was about a 30 kilometer ride, but I missed the chance to ride my bike over the highest point of the Alps. Just the same it was a good day.
On the way to the train station I went through a cloud. Our camp in Flims was high, when I left it was sunny. On the way down I stopped to take a photo of a cloud below me, then as I rode, I went through the cloud. It was a scary, fast downhill ride with very poor visibility.
