Hidden valleys

Today I was on my own, so decided to get some training in for our Western Isles cycle tour in July. I set off from home and ended up on lots of villages and valleys I’ve never seen before. There was virtually no traffic on the backroads and forest tracks of Aargau. It stayed mainly dry, even though the forecast was for rain. I clocked up 55km an 800m of ascent, which I found pretty tough.
