Pass in 2 parts, with the 1st part fairly easy, but the 2nd part is very hard! And with the heat on top of it, it's a real ordeal!
Col en 2 parties, avec une 1ere assez simple, mais la 2eme partie est très dur! Avec en plus la chaleur c est un vrai calvaire
A real alpine giant in Corsica. As everywhere in Corsica, you have to set off early. it can get unprecedentedly hot on the bike. It all starts quietly, but further towards the summit it gets harder and steeper. on top, the hiking tourists look at you strangely. They start the hikes at the top, while you arrive there stik broken.
Een echte alpenreus op Corsica. Zoals overal in Corsica geldt dat je vroeg op pad moet. het kan ongekend heet worden op de fiets. Het begint allemaal nog rustig maar steeds verder richting de top wordt het zwaarder en steiler. bovenop kijken de wandelende toeristen je vreemd aan. Zij beginnen de wandelingen op de top, terwijl jij stik kapot daar aankomt.
Great climbs, did it from propriano to the other coast to solazano. Intens climbs, especially on the way back from solazano. The length of tge course, the temperature (July),the sun and the steepness of some parts makes it a coarse you need to be trained to finish. Beatiful scenery, good asphalt. Only the last part of the descent after Sainte Lucie de Tallano had a lot of road construction going on and because of that a dangerous surface. Be careful and slowdown especially when you sre tired.
This is a seriously tough climb. Few moments to recuperate. High gradients. Beautiful surroundings, quiet road in the morning. The Arone was actually quite disappointing for me, it already demolished me more than expected. And then you have the very heavy Bavella... It is important to divide your strength well in order to have enough for the Bavella. All in all, a must if you are in this corner of Corsica!
Dit is een serieus zware klim. Weinig momenten om te recupereren. Hoge stijgingspercentages. Wel een prachtige omgeving, rustige weg in de ochtend. De Arone viel me eigenlijk wel tegen, die sloopte me al meer dan verwacht. En dan moet je de loodzware Bavella nog... Het is belangrijk om je krachten goed te verdelen, om over te houden voor de Bavella. Alles bij elkaar een must als je in deze hoek van Corsica bent!
A must do from May to mid October. The ascent of the Col de Bavella itself, that is to say the second one, is magical.
Beautiful forest and wonderful mineral landscape.
À faire absolument de mai à mi octobre. L'ascension de col de bavella proprement dit c'est à dire la seconde est magique.
Belle forêt🌲 et paysage minéral merveilleux.
