"Switzerland...it looks too perfectly picturesque to be true. But it is."

Hi <<First Name>>,

What goes up must come down!

This month we celebrate the pleasure and pain of the climb and the thrill of the descent. Your Training Zone tips will help you climb better, descend like a god and refuel like a Pro.

Climb. Descend. Repeat!

Climb of the Month:
Susten Pass

"Just one more climb. One more two-hour climb. No problem. It's kind of beautiful but you kind of want to die at the same time."

Heidi Swift of Peloton Magazine describes the Susten Pass, the final climb of the Alpenbrevet.

Cycling Nirvana

"Within the first few corners of the descent I know that the climb was absolutely worthwhile. This is cycling nirvanaâ€¦if Sony were creating a digital fantasy world through which to descend then it would look like this."

Cyclist Magazine descend the Susten Pass and discover a cycling nirvana.

Mordor

"We rode through a great amphitheater of rock, with blooming mountain wildflowers providing the song to the mountains' quiet. We pushed higher. We passed through tunnels and entered into Mordor."

Ashley Gruber rides the best climb you've never heard of: Col du Sanetsch
