I did the Alpenbrevet yesterday, and did the PlatinTour option. 276km and, officially, 7031m of climbing, although my Garmin says it's only 6,620m.

@Cycliste did the gold option - a mere 172km and 5,500m of climbing. Easy.

Alpenbrevet gold for me as well. I guess we didn't see each other, though I was actually wearing my LLFGS jersey. Got a bit overcooked on the Sustenpass in the heat of the afternoon. Great route, but especially fantastic between the top of the Grimselpass, where the crowd thinned out a lot, and Airolo. Also, gold, easy? How many km of cobbled climbing on the platinum?

@Cycliste said she saw someone wearing an LFGSS jersey, so she might have spotted you. Very few cobbles on the Platinum, although there were some early on. I've done the cobbles on the San Gottardo previously - they're hard work too!

Well, with all those mountains in the way, you would have needed X-ray spectacles for that.
