Amalfi Drive – The Best Yet Worst Road
If, like me, you can’t help but be drawn to spend time in Italy then the Amalfi Coast is simply somewhere you have to visit with it’s beautiful towns and picture perfect landscapes that have been inshrined into modern culture through movies an TV. And if you also love to ride your bike then the Costiera Amalfitana has to be experienced at least once in your lifetime. I say experienced rather than ridden because it somehow manages to encapsulate both the best and worst experiences of driving in Italy. Best ridden just outside of tourist season as it southern Italy of still plenty warm but without the hassle that all the extra tourists bring.
Best North West Sardinia Biking Route
There is nothing quite like getting to ride the unusually quiet roads of North West Sardinia in the summer. Yes it’s hot but you don’t care the sea breeze and the comfortable speed you can ride at is keeping you cool, even as you ride inland up the mountain. This adventure starts off from the El Faro Hotel just north of the beautiful beach town of Alghero, with it’s plentiful restaurants, bars, shops, cafe’s and a great sandy beach to cool off on after your 3 hour trip inland to Monteleone Rocca Doria and back via the coast. You will love these roads.
