**Elevation gain:** 1,220m
**Start time:** 8:30am from Bike Switzerland bike shop (which will be closed)
**Pace:** moderate
**Coffee:** Yes - bring EUR
**Estimated return to Geneva:** \~1:30pm

RSVP to book your place; by doing so, you confirm agreement to our [conditions of participation](https://cloud.nas1219.work/s/6ZpKzQ9BxcFZNBk). And kindly cancel if you can't come to make room for others!

Bring **snacks, water (2 bottles!), and a flat repair kit**. See the [equipment list here](https://cloud.nas1219.work/s/kb5k2aRGi3f3BGW). Also make sure in advance that your bike is in good working order.

Finally, please provide **a contact person and telephone number** in case of emergency (e.g. on your phone's lock screen or a post-it on the back of it).

NOTE: For moderate rides you should be able to keep the average pace (\~20-21 kph in this case), have ridden before in a group, and be both comfortable and safe when group riding.
