Needed to scrub them in for 100kms or so, and as I hadn't posted enough sunny photos of the area, thought I'd nip along the coast this time :augie

Just below the village, new Anakee 2's glistening in the abundant sunshine..

Nearly 5 minutes further up the road, past the very expensive Terre-Blanche luxury golf resort, this is the little road up to Bagnols en Foret, which has been recently resurfaced, and they made a damn good job of it.

Looking up the other way, towards Bagnols...

From Bagnols, turned off onto the D47 which runs over past the Gorges du Blavet
This is looking over to Bagnols with vines in the field, and the wine cooperative in front of the village :friday

5 minutes later we're up past the Gorges, with views all the way to the Med from here.

Scenery on the south side is typical round here, red rocks and cork trees

Bit of a slog through Puget sur Argens, which is a commercial centre, full of mad shoppers then onto the coast road via Saint Raphael to Cannes. Something nice about bikes and palm trees :D

From St Raphael, it's mostly a lovely run along the Corniche d'Or through the Esterel

Nice quiet place to live, apart from all the tourists who take photies of yer hoose :cool:

A rare photo of a lovely piece of road, with NO bike in the pic :augie

Slightly underexposed shot looking over Theoule sur Mer, to see if the snow covered Alps would be visible above Cannes....not really

IMG2166-XL.jpg


Carpark above Theoule which is always a good spot for a look about

Not many people on the beach either though it was around 6:30pm by the time I got here. We often take the kids down here in the evenings and have a picnic on the beach when all the tourists have gone for the day.

Heading out of the little port in Theoule sur Mer (from the beach in the last photie), and back to the main road.

IMG2170-XL.jpg


From Theoule, headed back up to the RN7, then back home via Les Adrets. The RN7 was quiet too

Just crossed the bridge across Lac de St Cassien, so about 5 minutes to home and a well earned glass of red.

Bon weekend all....might have a day off the bike tomorrow :augie
 
Right lads, one click and I can close this thread.
Can you bear another one from the lucky barsteward?:D:D:D

Lovely btw:thumb
 
Oi!

Less o that, or I'm going out tomorrow....:pullface They're closing the road to our place Sunday as there's the Cannes triathalon, so might have a day off :D
 
Looks like you've had some good ride outs recently Franco. So jealous as its pi**ed it down on and off for the last 10 days in Yorkshire. :beerjug:
 
Dry roads, sunshine and great views. :drool:drool

Not that I'm jealous at all. :augie

Nice one Franco, Enjoy :thumb2
'cos it's bucketing down here.
 
Yep, have you seen the weather here, you're just rubbing our noses in it.

:thumb, nice pics though.

RED? ...... what happened to the Rose'?
 
I would not want to live and ride there , some seriously shit driving going on. Take a look again at the pictures with the sharp corners and they all have some major sets of skid marks where pissed up frenchies have just not seen the corner :eek
