Overview

The beautiful island of Sardinia is a road cyclist's paradise. Spectacular, quiet roads await for seven days of point-to-point riding in the island's northern half. Average max temperatures at this time of year of around 23° make it a perfect autumn destination. Our trip will include dramatic coastal riding, climbs to hilltop villages, lots of rolling terrain and some longer climbs as we head inland. Accommodation will be in comfortable 2/3-star hotels and 'Agriturismo' type accommodation to give us a real taste of Sardinian life. Typical days will see us travel between 100-150 kilometres, with climbing varying between 1000-2700 metres. Climbs on this trip are generally not as steep as some of our other trips, so there will be lots of opportunities for some good-paced group riding. The Giro Sardegna (Tour of Sardinia) trip will be limited to 10 riders.
