And now I can't wait![]()
for some added info when you decide what road to take lookup the michelin map green or yellow cover then look up the roads you are interested anytime you see a fat green line against the contour of that road it means "worth the ride "
there are some classic like the col de la bonette beteween barcelonette and nice (highest pass in the alps), also the "defile du daluis and defile du cians" and valley de la vesubie , then left to rimplas and from saint sauveur de tinee to roubion .....also do not miss the dolomites stay in cortina d'ampezzo a night and ride around
I better stop here there is too much info to pass along
enjoy the summer riding the beast it is a cinch on the hairpin I mean the torque will get you around any hairpin in second sometime third gearbut beware there will be lots of bikes on these roads.and sometime especially in switzerland beware of brown ice in hairpins (fresh cow****)!!
