🇫🇷 #France, #Corsica, Day 3. Very humid and hot weather has accompanied a proper double digits #MonteePevani#climb. It was hard, as I’m not yet as fit as before, but I did complete it in one go!🙈🤣
@ssamulczyk sorry to point it out but it is not odd to hold a camera up by hand, while cycling, in the era of GoPro or any other helmet- or body- or bicycle-mounted cam? Your solution doesn’t really improve view of the panorama, if that is what you want to share, or of yourself.
@WuMing2 Sure thing. But then I’d have to ride with a shitload of weird mounts and sticks to use it, presumably stop to reconfigure it AND then, post ride - you have to download the video from the action camera with an awkward app to edit it. Not to mention the superior quality of iPhone video over any action camera…
So, I though of it, I do every now and then, but I just never pull the trigger on a GoPro and prefer the flash-bang edits from a phone…🤷🏻♂️
🇫🇷 #France, #Corsica - day 2! A quick coastal ride to the north. Not flat, but also not very hilly. It was surprisingly fast, with almost no wind and it was 20°C at 6am…🥰
So… no spoilers, but that MotoGP race from Le Mans was pretty intense. We were watching it later, Mrs E already (accidentally) knew the winner, but we were both biting our nails for the last laps.
We've never been to that circuit, I think we might have to do something about that. Definitely need decent accommodation though, don't think we could cope with the on-site madness.
So much drama and emotion! Phew! Bike swaps, crashes, remounts, conditions so slippery every rider was millimetres from disaster the whole race. I enjoyed it.
@paul_edwin@bikes I wasn't keeping track and only realised on Thursday that it was France and was regretting that I didn't sort something out and go. Mixed feelings on Sunday as there was some good racing but I'm getting less interested in standing in the rain. Maybe next year.
🇫🇷 #France, #Corsica - Day 7! I’ve found some even steeper climbs near #SanGiuliano, #Chiatra and #Linguizzetta. Went into some double digit sections with much more confidence and resolve than before.
Of course there had to be some shenanigans with routing and spiked bushes…🤣🙈
🇫🇷 #France, #Corsica - Day 6! We’ve moved to the east coast to #SanGiuliano and went straight away for the hills! Did a nice loop around #Linguizzetta, with a shitty twist from #Strava generated route…😅🤣
🇫🇷 #France, #Corsica - Day 4. It was supposed to be raining so I’ve decided to do a flat-ish coastal baguette run with no fireworks whatsoever… It did rain a bit, but seems I’ve luckily escaped a more severe storm…😅🤷🏻♂️
