Terrain: The tour alternates between countryside and stunning coastal views. You’ll be riding primarily on good tarmac roads, except for a few short dirt-road sections that lead you to your accommodation. You will be riding in a region full of rolling hills and long flat stretches, passing olive groves, vineyards and marsh lands. Around the Sinis Peninsula the terrain is flat but becomes hillier in the Marmilla region on day 6. The climbs are never too steep or long (ranging from 300 – 500 meters per day) and the roads generally have little traffic. We recommend a hybrid bike for this tour, due to the unavoidable section on day 3 that sees you riding over loose gravel. If you’d prefer to use a road bike however, this section can be re-routed, but we would need to know in advance, so that we could amend the road book accordingly.
Bike Hire: If you don’t own a suitable bike or would prefer to avoid bringing your own we have bikes available to hire. These bikes are typically Giant Roam hybrids (or equivalent). If a small frame is needed we will provide Liv Roams. Occasionally mountain bikes will be provided with semi slick tyres adapted for road use. We can provide a helmet locally on request, please let us know if you’d like to hire when you make your booking. Hire bikes will be provided with a pannier rack and 1 bag, a tool kit, a spare inner tube, a bike lock, a bike pump, a KM counter and a map holder. We have electric bikes available to hire on request. It may take us a day or so to confirm availability so please let us know as soon as possible if you’d like to take this option.

SØK
This cycling trip is based on the central-western side of Sardinia. Starting in Tresnuraghes, this is an ideal location to explore both the coast and estuary around Bosa, as well as the small villages of this corner of Sardinia. An area famous for its production of Malvasia wine and olive oil, there will truly be a Mediterranean feel to the route, as you cycle past vineyards, olive groves and open fields with sheep grazing.
