In 2007 we rode from Barcellonette to Turini in blistering 35 deg c via Coyolle 2326m, epic descent then climb to Couillole 1678m and St Martin 1604m. Through gorges, canyons, past turquoise streams and so many butterflies..
It was possibly the best (longest) day's riding in my life, ever. I promised myself that I would return one day to this corner of the southern alps.. The climb to col du Turini as featured in the Monte Carlo rally is absolutely mind blowing.. Just do a google search of the cols named above and you'll see what I mean..
