Tour du Lac de Genève

🕢 We meet at l’Horloge Fleurie at 7:30 🕢

Join me for this ride where we will do the famous Tour du Léman in the right way: Clockwise 😸

Distance: 176 Km
Elevation gain: 800 m
Start time: 7:30 @ Horloge Fleurie
Estimate return to start: 15:30
Average speed: 27 Km/h
Route: Strava, GPX

Please download the route to your cycling computer or phone.

The average pace will be around 27 Km/h and it should take us around 6:30 to complete it. Assuming about 1:30 for the breaks, we should be back to Geneva around 15:30.

Everyone is welcome to join, but please ensure you can maintain this average speed for the duration of the ride. If you regularly join the challenging or peak rides, this should be easy for you. If moderate rides are easily manageable, you should be fine as well. If you have already done it, you can assess whether 27 km/h is feasible for you.

The route is mostly flat, with an elevation gain of only 800 m. Plus, riding in a group can save you around 30% of your energy.

We will also stop for flat tyres or if someone loses their bike 🧐

I highly recommend bringing:

• A bike in good condition (and clean, as it will look better in photos)
• A flat repair kit
• 2 bidons of water (better with sport/electrolyte drinks) – Also bring any necessary items (e.g. electrolyte tabs) to refill 3 or 4 bidons during the breaks
• 1 banana
• 4 or 5 snacks
• Sunscreen (it will be sunny and hot, especially in the early afternoon)
• Your good mood
• € for the coffee break and CHF just in case
• Your phone to take photos
