Is there a better way to end the day on a bike by being sat in the square in Castellane with a proper beer ?
Today was always going to be a 'rest' day that I always try and build in to a trip.Not a day off the bike,but an easy day,staying a second night in Castellane.
This would enable me to ride the Guzzi without panniers and give me the excuse to blat down the Route Napoleon to Grasse,which is my favourite bit I think,and then onwards to Antibes for lunch,as above,then potter around the coast past Juan Les Pins towards Cannes,then back up to Grasse to pick up the RN back to Castellane.
I much prefer Antibes to Nice or Monaco-far less showy,though still some nice toys moored up
Looking back at Antibes on the way to JLP
I know many of you have ridden the RN but for those that haven't,I can thoroughly recommend it.
I've ridden it on sports bikes,GSs,KTMs,Honda CB1300S,MT10, and now the Guzzi,and it's always fantastic .
I was expecting the pegs to touch down regularly on some of the tighter hairpins ,but I guess I was riding smoother and anticipating this and never got a single scrape,unlike yesterday .Bizarre !
Most of the time I rode in 3rd or 4th,almost like a big scooter ,and the power and torque was fabulous.
Saw this old girl this morning,outside the hotel car park
