Scott Fenwick replied to a comment by Scott Anderson on a photo in Vence to Nice

I have a hard enough time remembering names of towns let alone names of hotels. But I do remember Vence as having a very nice old town area. It looks like a good place to organize a base from, although hilly from what I recall. Glad you will be thinking of me - as I watch the rain falling out my window- wishing that I was there! I see that you and Rachael will have nice warm sunny days to enjoy the rides and the hiking. You are both very lucky.

You stayed in Hotel Victoire! We just booked ourselves for 5 nights there as a base for day rides at the end of our tour. After we booked I decided to see if anyone else had been here, and found youse guys. We’ll be thinking of you.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is the link that may be of interest to you concerning our Sardinia tour the previous year.

Hi Scott and Pat,
I enjoyed reading about your tour. I've ridden on many of the same roads (not in Corsica, though) and it was fun revisiting them.
About cappuccino: not served in France, generally. You should ask for "café au lait" instead.
Cheers,
Keith

We learned early on in our trips to France to avoid the 900 level D roads, the lower numbers are much better, although you also can hit some busy ones . Isn't riding into the Mistral great?

I’m glad to have the cliffhanger resolved about which mainland you were headed for. You made an excellent choice. That’s a wonderful area. Hope you get good weather.

I was surprised to see that they recommended the inland route too - we’ve been here twice and took the coast ride both times. The inland route looks pretty amazing too though. In fact, everyplace in Corsica looks pretty amazing.

D81 was clearly dramatic and fun. But, never having been in Corsica, I put the Google stickman on D81B. It was revealed to be a narrow way - like a perfect bike path. It's no wonder car drivers would not like it. But it's surprising the bike shop did not flag that as a better bike way. It's so hard to trust what people tell you, and no doubt that would include me!

Scott Anderson commented on L'Île-Rousse to Calvi

Oh, my gosh. What terrible luck with your tires! I wonder if you’re picking up thorns in the dry interior. Good luck on finding suitable tube replacements - that’s something that always worries me with the Fridays too.

On the plus side though, isn’t the Corsican interior wonderful? The whole island is really, but I really loved those villages in the north. And the coast ride from Calvi to Porto. It may be my favorite coast ride anywhere.

The bad weather is coming from the hurricane action off the east coast of the States, I think!
