| Hello all,
I'm moving to Zuerich tomorrow.
I thought this was the most appropriate thread for this question...
I'd like to enter the Zueri Triathlon (not the Ironman, just the Olympic distance one on the 24th July). The bike leg is three laps of the bank with Landiwiese and Kilchberg. I live in Waldgarten (8057, just above the tram stop).
Would I be able to ride my bike through town from Waldgarten to Kilchberg or so? It goes right through Kreis 1 etc., the route looks like this: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3857693
By "would I be able to" I mean is it a. legal b. safe to do so with a wetsuit, running shoes etc. attached on my back, both going there and coming back?
If not, do you know an alternative way to get to the transition zone which I think is in Landiwiese with a road bike + kit?
The race starts at 8am, so I'm not too worried about traffic on the way there, just on the way back :P
Thanks in advance! | |

Welcome to Zürich!
That's great you're participating in an event so soon after you arrive - Good for you for jumping right in to things here.
I don't know about that route in particular, but in general it is fine to just bike to and from the race, and just carry your swim and run gear in a backpack. Or you can take the train, just be sure to also purchase a ticket for your bike.
Maybe we'll see ya racing since we'll be around there getting set up for the IM the next day. Good luck!!
