The ride
Roll out of Wald ZH and the road starts climbing right away: 74.2 km with 1567 m of elevation gain, all of it on pavement. The route drops past the river at Jona, then climbs to the castle ruin Oberes Baliken before continuing to the ruin at Bernegg. From there it follows the Töss, the Murg and finally the Thur, winding back to Wald ZH where it all began.
