What To Expect:


Just a couple days before the big trip. I've been going over the itinerary and some of the trip details and i'd like to share a bit of that so you'll have an idea of what we're expecting. http://www.bikeswitzerland.com/ is the company we're doing the tour with. They will be providing us with bikes, panniers, and a map, among other things. Generally they have two different routes; there's a 'lite' route and a 'challenge' route. We decided to go on the lite route even though my father would probably love the challenge route which goes through the alps and includes a day of hiking as well. Each day we'll travel about 30 to 40 miles on our bikes, making plenty of stops for photos and food i'm sure.

Some people stay in hotels and have BikeSwitzerland transport their luggage to wherever they may be staying that day. The Funcke family is too badass (or too frugal) to pay for that kind of unnecessary luxury. Everything we need for the 10 day trip will have to fit on the bikes. We'll be doing laundry in public sinks, staying in hostels, and smelling fantastic. I can't wait!

If you want to follow some of the stuff we'll be doing in each city, all you have to do is check the website and click on that city for more information. We're following the lite (red) route.
