Beautiful stretch of road, quiet, perfect tarmac, sweeps through the pine trees. It's like a little magic place and feels like I've rediscovered it everytime ride there. Always makes me think of holidays and riding in the French alps. There's no great elevation, it's just a bit twisty and beautiful.
