Last ride in the Alps for 2014 -- Furkajoch, Austria

The road is closed now to get to the top and over the Furkajoch pass, the crest of which is about another two kilometers further from where I’m parked. See the bar across the road about 50 m back in picture 2? One nice thing about riding a closed pass road is the near complete absence of traffic.

Check out that little bit of blue sky to the west in the second photo. I started the day with the idea of going east after this and deeper into the Alps, but I elected to follow that bit of blue sky which turned out to be a good idea. Coming back down the hills to the Lake Constance area was stunning under sunny skies.
