 A Crazy Day in Corsica
We had a great time in Corsica this last spring, but we also had one of wilder days on any tour to date. EVERYONE on the tour was forced to "plan B". It wasn't rain or cold or civil unrest.
On an otherwise nice day, gusty winds of up to 70 miles an hour blasted the island for about 24 hours on Day 2. Corsica is a very beautiful and dramatic place, but it's also a place where being blown off the road could have severe consequences. Never before had I seen riders huddled behind roadside rocks. Duane, the biggest rider reported that he was "blown down". After gamely completing the first half of the day's ride, the only sensible alternative for ALL...was a mandatory "Plan B", i.e., the train.
My hat is off to this group!...blown off. Thanks for overcoming the challenges!
It was the right decision. Unfortunately, that same day, two hikers perished in the wind as well as a beachgoer who was washed out to sea by a rogue wave. |
 The 2008 Schedule is now out.
Tme flies by doesn't it? It's hard to believe that we are talking about 2008 already. We like a good thing so we are keeping the basic line up intact and have added a place that has had our eye for awhile....Croatia. Even though it sits right under Slovenia (we meet in Ljubljana), it is a different place completely. Slovenia has a distinctly Bavarian flavor to it, while Croatia seems more like Italy. There are small fishing villages, truffles and lots of ancient stone fences. We make our way down the Istrian Peninsula and then do a loop through Croatia's biggest two islands of Cres and Krk. As usual, it's plenty challenging.
