What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in riding their bikes more offroads than on roads, in the hills or in the mountains. We follow diverse interests: XC, MTB, DownHill, Gravel, Bikepacking etc. We are not competitive bikers. Having fun in a group that like to bike is the main goal.
We do shorter tours around Zurich or daytours. We also plan to organize overnighters or longer trips (sleeping in tents, vans, B&Bs, alpine huts, hotels or under the sky).
Everyone with every skill, any age or any kind of bike (e-bike or normal) is welcome.
We collaborate with GETCHANGED.net, which is a platform for sustainable fashion. At GET CHANGD! you can borrow bikepacking equipment (tents, bags etc.) at very good prices. Check it out: https://getchanged.blog/sharing-pool/

See all- MTB Tour Day: Einsiedler KretenwegZurich HB, Zürich
This is a MTB tour, not gravel, read carefully! :)
The weather for Sunday should be good in the central Swizerland and this offers a very good option for a MTB day from Sattle-Hochstuckli to Pfäffikon SZ doing the route Einsiedler Kretenweg as described in ride(dot)ch.We will meet at Zürich HB and we will take the train to Sattel, once there, we will go to take the Sattel - Mostelberg gondola.
From Mostelberg, we climb up around Hochstuckli to continue over the ride and bike down to Einsiedeln. After that, there will be a second climb around the Etzel and bike down to Pfäffikon SZ.Biking level: The tour is expected to be intermediate+ level, there might be sections where walking the bike may happen (no shame). The climbing will be around 800-1000 metres and the pace will be relax to enjoy the day.
For lunch, depending on the motivation of the group, we can either decide to stop at an alp restaurant on our way or we can choose to find a nice spot and eat some snacks.
What to bring: Helmet, bike in good condition, spare tube and tools, water, rain jacket, snacks, etc
