Col de la Turini - Sept 14, 2023

 

 

 

The day started out warm and sunny. We soon came across what would be the theme for this trip: rally cars. What makes this area great for cycling, also makes it great for driving high performance rally cars. You will see it repeatedly in the video, lots of tight hairpin turns! I think we saw more fancy rally cars than any other type of vehicle. What was more impressive to me was the care the drivers showed whenever we were close. 

It was lovely and sunny at the start of the day and while not as hot as the previous day, I was not expecting the cold shower that greeted us at the summit of the Turini. We enjoyed coffee there, before bundling up for the long descent. We rolled into the town where John had booked a hotel for the night, but then got to climb a bit to reach the accomodation on the far side of town. Luckily it had a restaurant, so we didn't have to head back into town in the rain for dinner.
