Cycling in Sardinia, Abruzzi, Brittany - Green Sports

Cycling

Cycling is perhaps the ideal means for those intending to experience rural areas. It offers the chance to cover large distances but at the same time it does not distort the relationship with the area itself. On the contrary, it follows the forms, the climbs and the descents, allowing visitors to establish a deep sense of harmony with their natural surroundings. At the same time, it also makes it easier to encounter local people because it does not close the traveller inside a hostile and impenetrable metal vehicle; rather, it exposes him or her to the warm welcome of a greeting, of indications as to which route to take, or even advice about the best eating spots.

For harsher territories where the challenges are represented by mountain tracks, then a mountain bike, which is particularly hardwearing and has a large gear range, is more suitable. And let's not try to hide the fact, you need strong legs!

For gentler territories, we recommend a simple multipurpose touring bike with tyres that can withstand all terrains, good brake action over muddy ground, and a resistant frame when it comes to absorbing shocks.

The Green Sports areas offer itineraries of varying difficulties but all have a single common denominator: splendid natural surroundings and a wealth of architectural and archaeological heritage sites together with a great welcoming atmosphere.

Cycling in Vastese
- Pedalling in freedom
  12/07/2007
  Pedalling in freedom is the most authentic way to reach breathtaking panoramic spots, including those overlooking the lakes that extend through the valleys, following the paths of the generous and raging torrents. Travelling through the small villages you experience the feeling of being and not appearing, as you proceed breathlessly and in silence because the mountain rises up to dominate the entire valley until you can see the sea, down towards the east.
Cycling in Ogliastra
- The ideal place for cycling
  12/07/2007
  The specific features of the area make Ogliastra the ideal place for cycling and in particular, mountain biking. Brief routes alternated with the possibility of lengthy excursions are possible thanks to the vast hilly territory that unwinds immediately after the coast in the direction of the mountains. The most charming include the T-Track, which offers the cycle tourist 250 km in the heart of the impervious territory of Ogliastra, climbing up as far as the peak of Supramonte, along specially marked routes that offer cycling enthusiasts a smoother path and special services, as explained in detail on the site Rete Ogliastra Supramonte
