Spring bike trip above the Zürisee - UUSAC

The region next to Zürisee, above Horgen, Au and Wädenswil is the closest countryside there is from Zürich. There, you certainly have a feeling of being “above” the lake, with a great view and tranquillity. Not too many bike this tour, although it is less busy than biking along the Zürisee shore.
We will go in pleasant pace, perhaps making some stops as we choose. Since we start in Einsiedeln, the tour will mainly go downhill, we will pass the Etzel but not ascend. After having enjoyed a lunch or snack, we will bike downhill to Wädenswil where those who want can finish the tour with a swim in Lake Zürich.
The tour can be done in two hours, but we’ll take it really easy, perhaps needing 4 hours.
Max number of participants: 15
Distance, height meters: 40 km, +150m, -600m (approximately)
