If you want to explore the local area, you should get hold of the Zürich Swiss Singletrail Map. They're available for most of Switzerand now and I can heartily recommend them, but word of warning: when they say black route, they mean black route

The maps all have suggested tours on the back, which is especially nice when you go somewhere new. The classic one here is the Many-Hill-Show, also known as the Pizza Cup route. It's a challenge but a must-do every summer - tougher on fitness than technique. If people are interested, we could get a group together and give it a shot in the summer. The other thing I'd recommend is the Mondfahrt rides - does what it says on the box: rides by moonlight. Next one is March 3rd.
