One of our authors of long standing gives us this wonderful story of his last summer tour in Sardinia.

This year we (Giorgio, Marco, Tom, Ottavio) decided to leave with our MTBs from home, so Friday May 26 we start from Rivarolo Canavese direction Turin Train Station to take the train to Genoa. Arrived in Genoa in a few minutes we arrive at the boarding for the Moby ferry, with the bikes we are the first to go up and so in a short time we are in the cabin to leave our bags and we enjoy our quiet night of navigation toward Porto Torres.

A Jump in Sardinia - Fourth Day

By Lorenzo Spanò

Hello, we decided at end for this short vacation on the pedals, the excuse or the stimulus that this journey has made to look closely at our idols, has given me with great pride the opportunity to visit these wonderful places to my pedal friends. Today we wanted to see them at the top of the Padru climb, because of the weather threatening rain, they anticipated the start. In Padru the streets were blocked and we were forced to wait at the bottom of a descent. Our supplications have come to nothing.

Hi, today will be a hectic day, bike ride, bathing at the sea and racing to Olbia for the Giro d'Italia stage arrival. A real race against time. We got up early, a nice breakfast then bike, heading up Mount Nieddu and Pitrisconi Falls.

A Jump To Sardinia - Second Day

By Lorenzo Spanò

It's 8.30 am, after writing last night until one o'clock, I'm here to write from 7.30 am, but around me they all sleep, sleep like angels, I'm already thinking of the queue to take advantage of the bathroom just wake up. Today's program is a pedal to close three or four rings in the first inland.

A Jump in Sardinia - First Day

As expected, much work to reorganize and fix the state of abandonment of the Garden and plants. Of course, things to do when you open a home after a year are a lot, in addition if you consider that the house not so bidder than a caravan, figure out 4 bicycles, 4 suitcases, 4 bags for bicycles, helmets, shoes and cell phones cables and Goopro around everywhere! A mess! But it's funny!
