:D Have to thank you for that link LB. This year I was on the N212 just outside of Annercy :bigshock) Those corners come at you really quick. Not too good for the xx as you really have to be committed to the corner and praying nothing is coming the other way :bigcry: . Also there are blind hairpin corners in the middle of tunnels :banghead) , now they were scary :oops) :oops) :bigcry: As for the right ups of the corners and roads - they are spot on :thumbsup) , especially with regard to trhe hardest roads to ride outside of Annercy. Would I :ride) that road again on the xx :? TOO RIGHT I WOULD :thumbsup) :D

If nothing else, it teaches you the ability to go round corners and to trust in your tyres..................... (especially the front)
Keep the black bits down, and the shiny bits up!
