Corsica

I remember some of those roads have a sheer drop into the sea..
perty awesome but unfortunately I wasn't on a bike either.
I remember the sweetest Tomatoes I've ever had there.
 
On another note the electrical gremlins attacked my bike again tonight, but I managed to get it home after it temporarily let me down. Each time it craps out I've managed to elminate another part of the circuit but intermittant faults are a bitch.

Oh my, those roads were made for riding. I think the guys who are in charge
of making roads on the island (
http://maps.google.com/?ll=42.167475,8.816528&spn=2.263703,4.11438&z=8)
skipped the classes on "straight lines" and did some extra time on "curves".
Amazing. I could not see curves anymore, at the end of the day. I was sick
with them. And with all the beauty of the shoreline. Lots of "wow":

I like the blue and the white, all blazing in the sunlight:

The west side of the island is a bit rougher, but nonetheless:

The beaches are better on the other side, as far as I saw them at least. The
south end might differ.

Road sides are often "solidified" with stones:

I don't want to imagine what happens if you fall on that stuff, but hey..you
should go slowly, anyways.

I was there with the car, but will go back by bike.
