This is the report of the shrunk leftover of my big former journey plan for 2020. Despite the minimized route, all the Covid-19 regulations and a restricting foot injury I completed this 4000 km (2500 MI) and 11 day lasting tour through Austria, Switzerland, France, Corsica and Italy. Maybe less adventurous than my former rides, but still an eye-catcher with some famous sights along the route like:
Silvretta High Alpine Road, Swiss Alps, Route des Grandes Alpes, CΓ΄te d’Azur, Trans Euro Trail Corsica and the Dolomites.
