Btw... I heard on the German radio reports that tonight above 1,500 meters there will be snow in the Alps.

Yes it will be because it will be an extension of my business trip but it's not fixed yet, it depends on my supplier. I hope it's in the coming three weeks, will keep you posted!

  • Furka Pass
  • Nufenen Pass (Passo della Novena)
  • (ancient) St. Gotthard Pass (Passo del San Gottardo) (cobble stones & cows)
  • a pass where it suddenly started to fog and rain like hell
  • Silvretta Pass (the cherry on the cake - toll road, so very calm)
  • hotel stay at Stelvio (Italy)
Rudi and Wade might chime in to specify the details and chronology.

Fond memories of this "Three Musketeers" pre-run. We had a blast.

And yes, hills of the Black Forest can cause a 135i with an aggressive tune to go into limp mode for half an hour or so...
Tnx Luc, I got this route from Rudi:

I'm particularly interested in the Schonau im Schwarzwald area. I recall Wade making a comment "that next time we need to get a hotel there, make it the start and end point and cover the whole area around - North - East - South - West". I'm looking for the 'Todtnau - Todtmoos - Wehr' routes
