Calvi to Ajaccio - 416km; 8,000m; 29:22 hrs saddle time and no caramel slices

(To return to main Stuart blog click here.)

The Eid holiday after Ramadan would be 3 days public holiday in Bahrain, and also was an off week on the Stoker's rota. This was too good an opportunity to pass up, so we booked on the last Bike Adventures supported holiday for 2009, to cycle across Corsica from Calvi to Ajaccio with some cols on the way, from 19 to 26 Sept.

On the previous weekend we were at a wedding in Kent on the Saturday, so took the opportunity to tandem the Kent Sportive (80km) on the Sunday, and drop off the tandem at Bike Adventures in Ascot on the way home. I EFI'd the Devon day of LE2JOG that I missed on the Tuesday and felt that we were better prepared than we had been for LE2JOG as regards legs and the bike! (click on this link to read more)

Packing was a bit last minute, but we didn't need to take much as we didn't expect it to be cold or wet. Ha ha,
