After climbing the Col de Bavella from Solenzara we descended to Cusciocani and then did the climb via Gualdaricciu and Giglo. Before you get to Carabona where the climbing starts and it immediately gets well steep you have then already done a few short 'hups'. Turned right at the top to the Bocca d'Illarata which extends the climb with some easy kilometres. Fine tarmac and a nice climb between forest with views of rocky outcrops, like basically all the climbs in Corsica I've... read more

After climbing the Col de Bavella from Solenzara we descended to Cusciocani and then did the climb via Gualdaricciu and Giglo. Before you get to Carabona where the climbing starts and it immediately gets well steep you have then already done a few short 'hups'. Turned right at the top to the Bocca d'Illarata which extends the climb with some easy kilometres. Fine tarmac and a nice climb between forest with views of rocky outcrops, like basically all the climbs in Corsica I've done so far. Only took photos'at the Illarata so unfortunately can't post any here.

Na de Col de Bavella beklommen te hebben vanuit Solenzara afgedaald tot Cusciocani en toen via Gualdaricciu en Giglo de klim gedaan. Voordat je bij Carabona komt waar het klimwerk begint en het direct goed steil wordt heb je dan al een paar korte 'hupsjes' gedaan. Ben op de top rechts afgeslagen naar de Bocca d'Illarata wat de klim verlengt met wat makkelijke kilometers. Prima asfalt en een mooie klim tussen bos met zicht op rotspartijen, zoals eigenlijk alle klimmen in Corsica die ik tot nog toe gedaan heb. Heb pas bij de Illarata foto's gemaakt dus kan er hier helaas geen posten.
