"Fantastic ride around lake biel. Never fails to impress. Beautiful scenery" — my own words, 8 April 2017.
A loop around Lake Biel itself, ridden enough times that this specific one earned a five-star write-up in the ride log. Steeper in short pitches than the flat lake shore suggests — the route climbs away from the water more than once.
Route data (from Strava): 61.7km, 485m of climbing, max grade 49.3% — that grade figure is a short, sharp pitch, not the character of the whole ride.
