View from Hochstuckli of Aegeri LakeThis ride was done June 20th and was 97 km in length.
The special thing about this ride is that I did it with my friend Karl. Our plan was to do about 40kms - from Zug to Aegeri over to Sattel and then back to Zug along the Zugger See shoreline - but when we got to Sattel we decided to go for a longer ride because the weather was so great.
There were two highlights to this ride:

There were two highlights to this ride:
- High road climb through the woods behind Aegeri
- Lakeside road between Lake Lucern and Rigi mountain
The high road through the woods behind Aegeri is one of my favorite local roads. There is almost no traffic and has beautiful tree cover. The one drawback is that if you don't have a tripple on your bike it is pretty steep at some points. My friend Karl hadn't done any real climbing this year and he was able to complete the ride and seemed to enjoy it.
The lakeside road along the Lake of Lucern at the foot of the Rigi mountain ( from Brunnen to Weggis) is beautifully scenic, gently rolling, and has several towns along it to stop at for food and drink. I think pretty much anybody visiting Switzerland is bound to be impressed by this road.
