TO BEGIN


These are two firsts for me. I've never done a bike tour. And I've never published a blog. I've dreamed of traveling to Sardinia for many years. Why not do it by bike? The size of the island is manageable. And it's the only way I can really afford to go. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of peddling, I expect to travel some 500 miles making a giant C. I'll be starting in Olbia on the north east coast and finishing in Cagliari on the bottom of the island. I'll have about 2 weeks to complete the journey. Sardinia is one of the few regions I've never been to in Italy. It's the second largest island in the Mediterranean. I understand it's quite different from Sicily. It's distinct. It has a long history. The beaches and water are supposed to be some of the world's finest. I can only hope that it's not too mountainous.
