A low sun slices across pasture and hedgerow as the quads roll out from a farm track just beyond the edge of Zurich. The engines hum; the air takes on the scent of cut grass and diesel. Over the next 3.5–4 hours riders move through switchback lanes, gravel farm roads and short off-road sections, each bend opening onto views of Zurich’s lakes and, on clear days, the jagged line of the Glarus Alps pushing the horizon.
