Lucky coincidence if plans are changed to make it a black forest drive - I'm there (staying in Simonswald) from Friday evening till Sunday. That means we'll most likely (but not definite) go out for a drive on Saturday and Sunday.
If there are plans for to go to the black forest, I may have some suggestions on what roads. We'll be probably look into driving Schauinsland, Kandel and some roads around Todnau/Todtmoos.

Sounds good. If there are plans for to go to the black forest, I may have some suggestions on what roads. We'll be probably look into driving Schauinsland, Kandel and some roads around Todnau/Todtmoos.
I'd tried going over the Klausenpass yesterday (Sunday) morning. Nightmare. So many cars (moving chicanes), cyclists, cows, hikers. Think I had a clear road for about 2 minutes at most. Rest of the time I was stuck in traffic at around 20 mph
I think this Saturday should be okay for me. I will start a post and ask people to add their names if they intend to go (to see if there is enough participants to make it worthwhile).
We had a decent run up the Gotthard on the way back from Ticino yesterday but the trip back from Altdorf took 1 hour longer than planned.
I'd have thought that the Klausen wouldn't have been the best route in the CS given the bumps / width. I used to get to Linthal at sunrise to get a good run up but have only done one run over (from Altdorf at about 6:30pm) this year. It seems to be plagued with too many bikers in the middle of the day.

It has been a while since I went over the Klausen and I had forgotten how narrow and bumpy the road is. I wouldn't normally have gone so late but strangely my daughter wasn't so keen on a 5:30 start! The youth of today.....I'd have thought that the Klausen wouldn't have been the best route in the CS given the bumps / width.

I must also come to the defence of the Klausen!
On the right day it can be a great drive as I experienced earlier this year.....unfortunatly not in a Murci SV....

A sunny Saturday in early Sept I can imagine is a nightmare.
To be honest, these days I shun the weekend and do most of my pass driving weekdays after work.
OK, you can't get as much in in one evening, but at least there's very little traffic :-)

Hi guys
Should we invite this guy next year?
This looks to me like it was filmed in this neck of the wood?
