A ride to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lavaux, perfect for a cold and sunny winter day.
This ride is part of the "Winter riding in the Alps" collection on Switchback. More info on switchback.alpsinsight.com/cycling/la-corniche-lavaux-vineyards

First big outing, with skiing and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) not much time, I hope. February 19th at CHUV will be the last one; my bladder is fine but my right leg is weak and painful.

Lavaux again, but I love it, a little different today. A tough climb from Rivaz to Chexbres with 16% gradients, then Lutry to Belmont with 16%, followed by a 2.5 km climb around Gourze with average gradients of 20%, difficult but magnificent after passing by Lac de Bret. A beautiful day.

I worked nights this week, finishing at 6:00. I'm on the weekend and I only slept 3 hours. I still have pain in my shoulders, leg, and bladder. I have a neurologist appointment on Wednesday for hereditary spastic paraplegia. I'm hoping it's something else, but we'll see on Wednesday. Today was strange; I don't know why.
