After all, it was the Furca Pass and to get over it on an electric bicycle was going to be no mean feat!

Of course Germany is the source of those famous pretzels! Delish! There were also a couple different kinds of cheeses and pork that Gordon got into quite happily. Continue Reading ->
WAVE 2014 DAY -2
We, Gordon Foat of Green MotorSport and I, Leora Rosner of the Growing Air Foundation and Brian and Jean Orr of EV Matters are Team Green MotorSport with WAVE rally number 3 and 37.
