Col de la Gineste (326 m.)
Route des Crêtes, Cap Canaille, Parc National des Calanques
My new season biker workout ride, practising skills on lots of different curves and straights, running each section a couple of times to enjoy the variety of camber, gradient and tightening. Got outclassed only once but it was big time: he looked to be at 45 degrees lean angle... the GP track at Le Castellet is not far away and there are club riders (at least) in the area.
My CBR600RR is running great, it’s fresh out of the workshop having had its annual service. I was riding the craggy limestone routes around Marseille, the Calanques, Cassis and La Ciotat until the bike needed fuel and the weather turned cooler like it can do here in February. That was three hours of concentrated sportsbike riding and I’m far more sore across the shoulders, arms and quads than a whole day of cruising last week on the loan scooter while the mechanics worked on my CBR600RR. Big fun too.
