We drove back to Flims in the morning where Chris did some orienteering. Emily and I readied our bikes and then spent the day cycling towards the Furkapass. The weather was balmy and we were in good spirits as we headed off. After riding up a valley for some time we began to ascend to steeply to our first pass, the Oberalppass (2046 m). From there we had a nice long descent and then another ride up a valley. At the head of the valley we ascended Furkapass and were passed by the rest of the kiwis near the top of the pass. We ate cheese fondue in a little restaurant a few kilometres from the top of the pass and stayed the night there.
