Go East – On the Southern Tier Route from California to Florida

Felix’s passions are traveling, cycling, and whisky — preferably in combination. He has already embarked on a wide variety of multi-week bike tours. His past cycling endeavors have taken him through Iceland, Scotland, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and along the Great Divide (from Banff in Canada to the Mexican border in New Mexico).

Felix is a globetrotter through and through. At the age of 20, he left Switzerland to discover the wider world. His travels took him to France, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. He settled in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his wife Jenny. He remains connected to Switzerland through his family and Tankbar, which is further supporting the Ride with a contribution of one cent per liter of fuel purchased during the campaign period.

For his Ride for Impact, Felix will be cycling across the US from September 26 to November 23, 2025. He will follow the Southern Tier Route from the west coast to the east coast. The route begins in San Diego, California, on the Pacific coast, and ends in St. Augustine, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.

Felix will cover almost 5,000 kilometers on this coast-to-coast adventure. For every kilometer, Felix wants to collect one Swiss franc in donations for Velafrica. For a total of 5,000 Swiss francs. The campaign runs from September 22 to November 30, 2025. Help Felix achieve his goal and donate. Thank you very much!
