Corsica – “The Beast” Sept 20, 2008

by on Sep.30, 2008, under Corsica Sept 20, 2008

No daily posts for this tour.   I was too tired and so was my computer…it balked and threw some fits.  Suffice it to say that Alexandra, Dan, Graeme and Chantal tackled the challenge in stride.  Upon occasion, The Beast bit back….I mean literally bit back…a resident pig nipped Chantal on the rump!

Those that have done this tour will understand.

Here are a few selected pics.  I have recovered sufficiently to post them.

    Hi Guys
    I,ve just finished the Beast in Corsica; It was a beast….the ride that is….
    the companions were great. But the bloody hills! Man I,m knackered. They
    went up or down. Nothing in between. That Thompson bloke can pick’em.
    Hope you got home ok. I hope work is a bitch and you’d rather be biking.
    Hope to catch you some time soon. Keep on trucking.
