EU's political ad regs matter! No more hidden funding/targeting. Meta's childish, surly tantrum shows why we need this. Great work EU!

Saanenmöser → Zweisimmen → St. Stephan → over the Rüwlispass to Horneggli → back to Saanenmöser.
Nice loop with views toward last week’s Trütlisberg route.

Trütlisberg near Gstaad—excellent route! The climb was a bit longer and steeper than I expected 😊 but the descent makes up for it—some fun metal duckboards near the top, then fast, loose, flowing trails all the way down. (Yes, different bike from yesterday!)

Out riding over at Gspon—still one of my favourite routes. Been loving my new AXS Reverb dropper post too, highly recommended! #Valais #VTT #MTB #Gspon #RideMore #RockShox #AXS #BikeLife

High trails & clear skies in the Swiss Alps 🇨🇭🚵‍♂️☀️
Riding above Les Diablerets today — epic views, quiet trails, and the kind of blue sky that only summer in the Alps delivers.

Back from the UK and straight back on the bike — VTT ride from Leysin to Les Mosses 🚵‍♂️⛰️ Classic alpine trails, big views, and legs that forgot what climbing felt like 😅 #VTT #SwissAlps #Leysin #LesMosses #MountainBiking #BikeLife #RideSwiss #AlpineAdventure #GravelAndGrit #CyclingInSwitzerland

Quick ride above Champéry today — almost no snow left, but the views still delivered. Back home just before the rain 😌⚡

**Around Villars & a quick tune-up with the ShockWiz.**
Trails still a bit patchy with spring snow, but dialled in the suspension and got some great flow out of it. Swiss views doing their usual thing.

Gros Mont is a high pass between between the massifs of the Vanil Noir and the Gastlosen above Rougemont, it’s too early for the cows to be up there or the refuge open but it’s a great ride in a remote area #emtb #myVaud #SwissAlps
