A short ride from sea level up to Santa Reparata, where we left our bags at the Hotel Santa then rode on. A short rest day was planned, but we rode up to San Antonio for lunch and it became quite a long but lovely ride.

We are staying in the L'Escale Côté Sud in the centre of Ille Rousse for Saturday night in town. est 46km

We have a choice of going via Col Teghime or direct down the coast (44 to 31 Km but some difference in gradient ! We are staying in the lovely Hotel Restaurant L'Europe again. Oligastro ride to St Florent via Nonza St Florent

a longer day on the bike - about 54 km. We are staying in the Hotel St Roche in Ogliastro A spectacular ride over the Cap Corse, with views over to Elba. Then down to Port Centuri for primavera pizza and large beers on the harbour.

Cycle about 37km out of Bastia along the East coast of Cap Corse. We are staying in the hotel U Ricordu in the fishing village of Maccinggio. Hoping to use the pool.

The plan is to fly to Bastia on a really early flight. Hopefully customs won't be too horrendous. We'll bus into Bastia and leave our bags at the Hotel . have lunch, check in and collect the bikes. Time will tell! We are staying at the Hotel Central in a Comfort Double Room with balcony over the street. All went to plan.
