Trans Sardenga day 5
Riding out of Cagliari is fast, even in the morning rush hour and the first few kilometres on mostly flat roads fly by quickly. The sky is cloudy and it's perfect cycling weather as I pass an old necropolis (really just some holes in the rock) and a thousand year old...
Trans Sardegna day 4
The day starts windy with the Mistral blowing the clouds through the sky faster than they can start raining. Unfortunately it's blowing from the side most of the time, especially hard to ride on the fast road downhills in the morning. The tiny roads are empty, except...
Trans Sardegna day 3
I start into a clear and crisp morning with a great view on the Perda Liana mountaintop. As I pass by, I stop and take the quick hike up to the base of the magnificent cliff. I continue and visit a 12th century castle ruin on the way. Going off-road again for a bit, I...
Trans Sardenga day 2
Birds wake me before sunrise and I start out at 7.30 down to Oliena/Uliana. I buy some water and start up what must be one of the steepest roads in Sardinia up to Monte Maccione. Almost 200 m ascent in roughly 1.5 km over 20 curves on rough cement. Yay! At the top I'm...
Trans Sardenga day 1
After a short flight to Olbia and an unrestful night at the shore (too many birds, cruise lines and fishermen), I start out at 7.30 to do a quick tour of Olbia, shop for groceries and gas. early morning visitor, straight from the cruise ship I start my ride towards...

Transalp day 12: over the hill and out
After a rainy night I break camp early and am on the road before 8. I ride up through Warth to the Hochtannbergpass at 1676 m and starting from 1300 m elevation not much, but my legs still hurt today. Perhaps they can feel the end is nigh. Down and along the Bregenzer...
Transalp day 11: Ötztal, Inn, Lech
Today's ride is characterised more by valleys and rivers than big passes. From Sölden I ride down the Ötztal, the air still icy cold in the shade of the mountains. The bike path here is well marked and leads over forest tracks most of the time. After briefly riding...
Transalp day 10: Meran & Timmelsjoch
I start pretty late today, knowing that the road to Meran is going down along the Etsch river. I ride through the apple orchards of the Vinschgau region, making excellent pace on the bike path, parts of it like a cycling highway, parts with gravel surface. I only pass...
Transalp day 9: Bernina, Livigno, Passo di Stelvio
I start my ride after some light rain in the night. The Morteratsch glacier stays in view for a bit as I head up to the Bernina pass. From where I'm starting it's only 500 m elevation over 11 km. I reach the top quickly and head down to the turnoff towards Livigno....
