How do I delete a dislike from my phone ?

That's good, thank you

Cormet de Roseland - re Wessie.. it is a cracking pass

Today 11th Sept Switzerland.
Cracked on early as last night we read met office weather.. snow and temps varying from 2 -5°C from 11am onwards.
4 passes
Neufenen pass
St Gottard pass.
Furka pass
Grimsel pass.
Blasted through the first two in the light of snow warning that in the end never appeared

The pic of the pass is the bottom of Grimsel pass. Went over it then turned round and came back over it and back to Blitzingen where we are staying.
My RS at full chat (shift cam top end) blowing out of a snow tunnel to overtake a van then blazing up through switchbacks was magnificent Fantastic feeling.

Hi Wessie, thanks for the heads up on the closures, but we did those passes on the 9th I think. We are heading up now.
We will take your advice and recheck the passes on t'morrows route. Good to have a plan B before we leave.
Tomorrow's route atm - fingers crossed

Up early and up to Neufenen pass. Pass open, no cars going up of or down, no workman mending cracks.. snow line much lower than before, -4°C near the top and down to the other side. Came across a new 1300GS and a f900 I think, really crawling round the switchbacks
Had to be done... passed and left them behind
The Gottard tunnel was closed last night but planned open this morning, fortunately it was, 35°C in the tunnel, what a blessing, warmed us up lurvely!
Cracked on up main motorway for most of the way back into France and on up, then onto minor roads to tonight's stay at Bienfais. Only rained for 2 hours the whole way.
Great riding in the Alps, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Back on up to near the tunnel t'morrow, 506 km mainly autoroutes, hopefully we dodge the rain route pic below ...or somewhere near ?

Dodged most if the rain, only two light showers. Ride, juice up bike, coffee repeat. Made it to near tunnel at 5.15. Time for a shower and eat.
Last leg t'morrow, 429 miles, tunnel then hoof on up back to Gods Country - Yorkshire. Home sweet home

I found a topic on the forum entitled Tours. My brother and I have toured together for 15 years. So thought I would do one. I hope you liked it?
