First day of riding. Unfortunately many mechanical failures plagued the start, so we're late and sort of hurried along a bit. Sue did great as we rode most of the western flank of Lac LaMan past picturesque lakeside towns. The Swiss have planted the country in geraniums. The weather is perfect. Sunny and 73•. Great dinner and into bed immediately. Jet lag was a problem. Wake at 2:30 am before riding 40 miles is a challenge. Slept through though and ready for day 2 over to Yverdon, a spa town on Lake Neuchatel. This is an iPhone hunt and peck post so kind of brief.
