The whole route has been divided into
10 cycling stages and 1 rest day in
Bastia.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The daily distance depends on the
profile and the locations of suitable accommodation.
It's an average of around 105 kilometres per day.
Several stages can also be shortened considerably, so
that the daily distance is 10 to 40 kilometers less.
The whole route follows almost everywhere quiet roads
where you can enjoy the beautiful countryside
and coastline.
Every day you can expect serious climbing with one or
more cols. Some long and gentle, others short and
painfully steep. The average elevation gain is roughly
2.000 meters per day and sections with gradients over 10
per cent are not uncommon. Granny gears required.
At the start in Ajaccio you receive an extensive tour
guide with background information about the route.
A GPS which has the option to upload
files is essential and very helpful to find the correct
way without looking at detailed maps and an overload of
instructions. |
