Interested in a road cycling holiday to Corsica in September-October.

Have found both Europe Active (cycling-corsica.com)and Saddle Skedaddle trips and was wondering if there are any others that you've been out there with or if you'd recommend one of these?

Thanks

I went on holiday to Corsica a few years ago and hired a Renault Kangoo van. The roads on the western side of the island would be lethal for bike riding as they are very narrow with lots and lots of blind corners, no/broken shoulders, big drops or cliffs! The locals drive like mad men. One managed to clip the wing mirror of my car.

The eastern side of the island had better roads.

Not sure whether you've considered this but I thought I'd pass it on!

Cheers for the tip Mark,

The tour with Europe Active (cycling-corsica.com) that I'm considering is an organised tour which uses the main roads as little as possible. It criss-crosses the island using the mountain roads.

I've heard about the locals all driving like sebastian loeb - it'll keep me on my toes, may need to wear my body armour as well as helmet, eh!
