It's pretty cold here on Corsica, the mountains are blanketed in snow and many of Corsica's tiny ski stations are open. The snow cover is not quite as much as I was reading about in the Pyrenees or Boston which means that if you layer up it's a great time to ride. The roads and villages are incredibly quiet and the winter scenery is truly stunning as I'll hope you agree – take a look at my new winter gallery. The higher mountain roads are snowy so it's a time to stay sub 450m altitude which in coastal Balagne is easy to do. I've only seen one other cyclist in the past few days I think the locals are either hibernating or out skiing! Tourists are also thin on the ground although having said that I did see a camper-van from Finland yesterday – it probably feels quite tropical here for them!
