Travel notes in 710 Km of effort, beauty and ....
In recent days, fate has led Leandro and Loredana on the Cubo Viaggiatore web pages, their desire to share the wonderful experience of travel by bike did the rest. So here we are, transported by fate meetings, to have the opportunity to publish the story of travel to Corsica. Leandro and Loredana have made a wonderful travel diary, with photos and graphics of the route maps, a wealth of details and preparation that have given great value to this Travel Story.
By Leandro and Loredana
Five years ago we left a piece of heart in Corsica, after having done almost the complete tour by RV with some dear friends; we liked it a lot but we didn't see two of the perhaps most beautiful features, the north western part and part of the "finger" (the north end). Unfortunately we had the days and we could not visit anything else. In recent years we have abandoned football (Loredana after thirty years of competitive activity and Leandro after twenty years at managerial level) and the few hours that the work allows us to dedicate to the bicycle. Nothing sophisticated or competitive, not "racing", no curved tubulars and dumbbells; it's not even about "mountain bikes", our two vehicles are trekking-city-tourism, with 24-speed gearboxes, straight handlebars, intermediate tires, luggage racks, mudguards and lights. Do not miss the cycle computer for detections of distance, speed etc. After many trips of 50/60 km made in our area starting from home and several routes in the hinterland of Pesaro and Rimini taking the bike in the car on the starting point is slowly matured the idea that that "piece of heart" maybe we could go to take it back. The motivations were to be able to take a decidedly different path, to celebrate the "silver wedding" with a trip to remember, and a little also to find our limits.
