L'Escaren - Col de Turini - l'Escaren
June 26, 2005

Description

The Col de Turini is north of Nice. Alessandro Morbidelli and I started from l'Escaren, which is towards the top of this map. This other map shows the route itself. At Luceram, there are two roads you can take. We went up the road to the right and came down via the other one.
