The Crossfondue is an event I had in my mind since a while - in fact more than 2 years.

As Gerard mentioned in his live stream session of last week we want to do a couple of OPEN Owner's rides this year. We have a lot of ideas of what we could do but there is just one problem: us. We have been very busy building up OPEN in the last 4 years and the fact that Gerard now lives near New York does not really help to have us both at the same spot. Most of the time we are together we do not even have time for a short ride as we want to use the time we have efficiently. 

Now finally it will happen. The first "Mini"-OPEN-Owners ride. We know it is short notice and we know it might be not good timing for everybody but we just want to have a start now. Sunday 26th of February we meet at 9am at our new Swiss office in Basel for the Crossfondue. The Crossfondue is a 5-6 hour gravel/mud and/or snow ride depending on the weather conditions. After the ride everybody is invited for a typical swiss fondue.

You would need to register until February 1st with Andy (contact button on the left) so we know how many people we can expect. Basel is easy to get to, either by car or through its airport that is serviced by most of the low-cost and many of the main carriers. We can also organize a hotel for those who want to arrive the day before or stay after the ride. More and detailed info will follow for everybody that has signed U.P.

Come join us on a one scenic ride my backyard.


If you can not make it this time our next ride in Switzerland is fixed for May 7th.

Oh, and in case it wasn't clear: Cross + Granfondo + Fondue = Crossfondue
