Re: Pragel Pass

The descent down towards Schwyz is pretty steep, narrow and twisty compared to alot of other passes. Also much of it has thick tree cover which can make the surface quite slippery in places. So my advice would be to take it easy!
Second that one for the Pragel! I did this a few years ago, locked my rear brake on the slippery stuff, fishtailed, released the brake and found myself heading straight for the edge. Have no recollection how I saved it, other than an instinctive "lean, lean, lean" reaction from motorcycling.
