Off-road & Accommodation on Corsica Oct 2008
Hi there
I’ll be on Corsica from 19th to 25th October with a van and 2 bikes (1x road bike and 1x light weight enduro bike) as well as camping gear. I have 3 queries: 1. Are you there then too? Do you want to ride together, particularly off road/on dirt roads/tracks? 2. Can you recommend any dirt road routes? I’ve got a 1:180.000 “AA Touring Map France series” map of Corsica in front of me and not many are marked. Just start/finish points would be good. I can work out the bits in between. Is there a better map I can buy? Might you even have any GPS data to share with me? Road riding is easy. Just look for the least-straight lines on the map, so I’m sorted on that. I’ve also downloaded some GPS routes/tracks/waypoints from www.naviboard.de . 3. Accommodation: Every campsite I’ve researched on Corsica seems to be closed either end-September or mid-October. Can I camp in your garden? Do you know any Gite d’Etapes that are open (and pleasant)? Where I base myself depends on the weather, but if it’s ok inland I read that Corte is a good base for dirt road riding. What do you think? Thanks for any input you can give. Ride safely, Chris

How did your trip go? I've only ridden on the roads of Corsica, never off-road, but what roads they were!!! Phenomenal twisties (Col de Verghio springs to mind), great surfaces (at least usually) and fantastic weather. Somewhere I'd love to return to soon...
