September 7, 2023,Corse 23: Vico - Corte 07.09.2923

The two big passes at a pleasant 13-16 degrees up, then long-sleeved shirt, windbreaker and scarf down. In Calacuccia it was already a pleasant 20 degrees. In the Scala it went up to 38. The last small pass before Corte was extremely warm. Always from shadow break to next. Komoot then got too hot and lubricated.
