Terrain: You will be cycling across an ever-changing landscape, along different types of terrain, offering new challenges as the days go by. Close to the coast, the tarmac road gives way to smooth dirt and heads inland. Later in the week, you’ll enter the mountainous region of the island, ascending into higher territory. Every day you will be climbing through stunning landscapes, with the gradients never being too steep. Mostly you’ll be riding on quiet, sweeping smooth roads. A gradual 25 km / 15.5 miles descent to the east coast from Silana pass (1000m/3280ft) is the perfect end to your ride in Sardinia.
