  CYCLING IN SARDINIA

  

  Written April 2012

  Carol(my partner) and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, which proved to live up to the 5star ratings given by previous exodus cyclists. The scenery is magnificent, the food brilliant, and the organisation by our group leaders Michelle, and Roberto was inspired. The trip is properly graded at moderate, and all in our group managed all of the climbs.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Cycling in the hills of south west sardinia, with sunshine at 25 degrees, and coming across beaches that are pretty much empty at this time of year.

  Eating sardinian food, with a bottle of Ichnusa...does it get any better!

  Crossing a 20 metre stream about 30cm deep over pebbles, and being the only one in the group not to get wet feet.....definitely deserved a beer!

  Watching my partner beat me by about 5minutes on the longest and steepest climb of the week....I've got to get some calf muscles to match!

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Michelle and Roberto were brilliant, very attentive to any needs, and total fun for the whole week. We have done numerous trips with you, and these two were among the best we have evr had.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Do the trip!

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Possibly my only wish would have been for slightly better bikes, these were a little 'sit up and beg' style, did the job, but something like a trek hybrid would have been better.

  Absolutely one of the best holidays I have ever been on!  I really enjoyed the cycling, the scenery, the challange, and the company.  The hotels were far nicer than I had expected.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Our group leader, Michaele and his partner Enrico were fantastic.  Really supportive and helpful.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  I think we were really lucky with the weather.  I would choose my destination and potential weather more carefully in the future as if it had been rainy and windy I think the trip would have been a bit grim with a lot of hanging around.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  There were a number of people who were experienced cyclists, this trip was their 7th or 8th cycling holiday.  This was my first and I felt that there could have been a little more instruction on how to ride a bike safely in terms of the down hill stretchs, which were at times quite steep.  I think some guidance as to the line to take and the technique needed would have been helpful.

  If you like the challenge of hills, fantastic scenery, clear pristine beaches, lovely villages and flamingoes then this is the trip for you.  If you are more serious about being competitive and King of the mountain, then it's not strenuous enough over the whole week.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Getting to the top of the biggest hill, sweaty and breathing like an old cow, but still on my bike, when other people had given up and walked. A great personal achievement! But a great moment as everyone who made it enouraged all the group to do their best.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Michele was a great guy and led us well but this trip was absolutely a double act. Theirs was a complete team effort and Enrico was far more than just the bike support. They both worked really hard to make our holiday the success it was. They had endless patience and good humour at all times and both made the trip really special.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Be prepared for the hills at the start of the week, but don't be put off, they calm down towards the later stages.

  The hybrid  bikes are good, but don't have any cages on the pedals - you definitely need to take your own pedals to ensure that you have good grip up the hills

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  We like trying the new Exodus holidays and this certainly was a lovely one to experience. Perfect time of year to do it as you have time and space to explore and appreciate.

   We were exceedingly lucky with the weather, this is not normal to have no wind and no rain and perfect blue skies.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Lovely beaches

  Good cycling

  Interesting culture

  Great weather

  Unspoilt scenery

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Great - he never forgot that it was our holiday.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  I've heard that the island is too hot and too crowded in August.  Our trip in early October was perfect.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Just a big thank-you to all my fellow travellers for making it such an enjoyable week.

  Sardinia itself is very unspoilt and the people could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Our guide and support were enthusiastic, attentive and made sure that everyone had a great time.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Probably watching the sunset from a clifftop bar with a beer and a pizza.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Our group leader, Michele, was an absolute star. He had a great sense of humour and worked really hard to make sure everyone got what they wanted out of the trip. Nothing was too much trouble.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Some of the routes involve riding along cliff edges, all with barriers and perfectly safe but if you don't like heights this might not be for you.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Food was fantastic and we had a great group to share the experience with - the only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather!

  A fantastic trip - great organisation, lovely route with stunning scenery, and nicely relaxed riding. A really good group too.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Seeing the wonderful coastal scenery from the bike (and getting to the top of the hills, especially on the days where we had a strong head-wind!)

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Michele was great - very knowledgeable & nothing was too much trouble. He was also a very good laugh! Good support from Enrico too, especially organising a very nice beach picnic!

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Padded cycle shorts a must. I took my gel saddle cover but it didn't fit the hire bikes. Not TOO painful though...

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Just go for it & keep your fingers crossed for good weather - ours was a bit variable!
