The thrill of the ride - Cyclist Magazine

It's the eve of the Grand Departure here on Corsica and to say that there's an air of excitement would be an understatement and that's just here at our place. There's great anticipation for the first ever visit of the Tour to Corsica and for its very special 100th edition. There's also great expectation from us Brits because this time tomorrow evening there's a good chance Mark Cavendish will be wearing the Maillot Jaune.

The cycling media has, rightly so, gone into overdrive adding to the excitement. One of my favourite magazines, Cyclist dispatched Mark Bailey here several weeks ago and this week in its Tour Special you can read all about his epic day out with local guide Nicolas Miaskiewicz of Europe Active. It's a great read  capturing the essence of road riding here en Corse and is stunningly complimented with excellent pictures by Pete Webb.

It will be hard to crowd dodge over the next few days as the Tour works its way around the L'Île de Beauté watched by fans from around the world. After the Tour has gone though this is very definitely a place where you can, "ride without the hordes".
