Motorcycling To Zurich – Day 02
Man, I’m toast! I just arrived in Zurich having ridden 800km (500mi) through torrential rain and flooded roads from France to Switzerland.
I did the dumbest thing along the way…
I accidentally re-programmed my GPS to take me to the south of France instead of to Zurich for my Dad’s 70th birthday (my GPS thought it was taking me on a beach holiday!). I only realized my mistake after I had ridden 200km in the wrong direction, freezing my ass off in the pissing rain!
Instead of camping overnight like I had planned, the thought of a warm bed rather than a wet sleeping bag compelled me to hit the highway and blast all the way to Zurich in one stretch.
It was one of the toughest rides of my life. I ploughed through the rain for 8 hours, keeping myself awake by singing to myself in my helmet, and arrived in Zurich at 9pm, exhausted and wet, but with a smile on my face.
