The party is over - but the memories still last.
The traditional Edelweiss reunion, now called "Feschtl", took place in Lake Placid, NY. This beautiful location, home of the Olympics in 1932 and 1980, was close enough to the Canadian border, so that a lot of our Canadian customers took the chance to join us for a weekend full of great riding, excellent food and countless exchanges of memories.
Some guests had never been on tour with us before, and they used the chance to gather information from those that have done 1, 2, or in some cases more than 10 tours with Edelweiss Bike Travel.
In total, more than 50 riders joined, the owners Coral and Werner Wachter, CEO Rainer Buck, Anna, who had done a great job in organizing the Feschtl, and Marko, who had the pleasure to be the tour guide for the ride through the Adirondacks on Saturday.
Here are just a few pictures from the event:
