		Bohmelt's contacts with Iron Horse and Reichenau in Geneva are largely irrelevant to the issue of Rendita's residence, because they occurred before Rendita was incorporated.
		Bohmelt's post-incorporation actions in Zurich-- meeting Reichenau in the lobby of a hotel and establishing a mail drop "to construct the image of a Swiss company"--were insufficient under settled corporate law.

		The Ecotrip 2002 Schweiz was a four day ride over fairly easy terrain, taking riders through some of the most beautiful areas of northern Switzerland, including along the Rhine River and the southern bank of Lake Constance.
		Once the path meets the Töss, it stays very close to the river all the way to Sennhof, so the cycling is very easy and enjoyable, and it's possible to really appreciate the beauties of the river valley and the many small towns along it.
