- Having struggled on day one, as we took an easier day to help recover, but not waste any chance of exploring more of this beautiful country. We decided to head up the Oberalppass, an easier stunning climb straight out of Andermatt. I wasn't expecting to be at max heart rate 2 minutes into the climb and managing my effort in the altitude on my way to another 2000m summit.

Great effort lads, Keep it going but don’t break yourselves, Darren, try a ride without all the kit and enjoy it, air must be scarce enough as it is without carting round BBC Television Center!!
I’m not giving up my Swiss flag!! 😂
I found I was back to my usual self today, so not sure what made me feel ill, but hopefully I’m over the worst of it. Thanks Lewis.
Elevation is a nightmare for us living at sea level but you don't get those views at sea level so worth the effort👍
It’s definitely worth it Mike. But it is an odd feeling.
Great effort to backup for a second day of tough climbing. I would have taken a day off
Thanks Mark, I’m only here for the week and want to make the most of it. It was and a 24km ride up and back, so it should have been like a day off.
It’s a toss up what I watch first thing in the morning here in N.Z when I’m having my breakfast, Darren and the boys or the Tour de France! You guys are winning so keep them coming! And just remember the hills can crack anyone as the yellow jersey of the Tour found out today!! Catch you tomorrow at breakfast 😃👍
Thanks Spike, you’ll be pleased to know, there’s another one ready to go! We went up the Sustenpass today. Wait until you see the beauty of this one. Switzerland is doing is proud! Thankfully, I was back to normal today.
Some of us ride for the sense of achievement we feel at the end of a tough day, some for the enjoyment of the ride itself and some for both of those aims. I can’t help feeling that if we’re not enjoying the ride itself then we might be making the wrong choices. As I climb up White Sheet Hill out of Beaminster if I have to stop more than once for a rest I do, if I have to drop down onto the granny ring I do. I have conquered that hill before non stop all the way up, I don’t have to prove it again, I enjoy every moment of a fine day that I’m out on my bike. ‘Love all your videos Darren, I don’t know where you find the energy to take video and climb all those switchbacks.
Thanks Peter, it doesn’t matter what you do on your bike, as long as you love doing it! Nothing better to do to put a smile on your face.
Can you imagine living with those views all the time! So gorgeous. Well done Darren, just think about how flat your local roads will feel when back home. 👍
I would like to live here, but there are no flat roads! It’s up or down. It’ll be interesting to see how the altitude training affects your cycling all in the UK though.
Well done Darren. I’m an asthma sufferer and know what it’s like when breathing/heart rate are maxed out and crawling in comparison to speed you know you can ride at, I’d really struggle at that altitude so well done again mate, the roads / views are stunning
Thanks Simon, it has surprised me how much it has affected me. But I’m glad to report, I was back to normal today, so whatever it was, has either passed, or I have finally acclimatised. But I’m loving every minute, this is a beautiful part of the world, the scenery is incredible!
Please don't be offended but you did look a funny colour at the start of this vid Darren 😂 p.s.amazingly beautiful place
I know, my eyes look black!! 😳 whatever it was is hopefully behind me, as I was back to normal on the climbs today. I actually managed to stay with everyone up the Sustenpass today. If you thought Switzerland was beautiful before, wait until you see the next video!!
Great ride Darren looks tough, kudos to you for getting the job done, Altitude is an absolute beast.🌞👍
Thanks Terry, it has kind of shocked me how much it has knocked me sideways! I’m glad to report though, I was back to normal today!
I reckon that covid effected you more than you know. You enjoy but take it easy . ❤️
Nah! That was ages ago. It’s all the altitude, I was back to normal today.
