We will visit a gem of the Mediterranean, the "Island of Beauty", with its unique mixture of gorgeous coastlines, majestic mountains and well-preserved traditions. On a loop to and from Ile Rousse, we will spend a cycling week taking in the cultural and natural landscape of the wildest Corsican region: the North-West. Important: This is meant to be a pleasant on-the-road trip without major challenges, but a basic level of fitness is recommended.
