Today’s ride on Komoot Well today went from a simple ride with one big climb to a sometimes hair-raising, sometimes eerie but epic day. I left Gela at about 10am not bothering to get food for the day. I had some bits and pieces that would at least get me to Comiso which was the …
Today’s ride on Komoot I slept late, felt lazy and agonised over how far to go today. In the end, I opted for Gela which is not far away, but I think it has a bit to see. After all, the purpose of this trip is tourism not just cycling. After leaving the B&B, I …
Today’s ride on Komoot I woke up this morning feeling like I’d had enough travelling and might look at heading home in a month or three. I’m meeting Timo in Bari at the end of March and we’ll spend a week cycling in the area. So I thought after that, maybe it’s time for a …
I packed up early after a restless night listening to the local dogs and goats. I left without breakfast as the dogs were quite close and I really didn’t want a visit while I was luxuriating over coffee and muesli. It was foggy this morning. I was surprised by the condensation inside the tent, but …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had an interesting day planned. The route would take me through villages and small towns, up some big hills and I’d camp at my destination – something I haven’t done since I was in Wales last year. I was riding across the island to link up with a small part …
Today’s ride on Komoot What a fantastic day. I was one of only two guests at the place I stayed at in Cabras. It was great, and the included breakfast set me up for the morning. It’s always a nice surprise when a guesthouse includes breakfast. I’m sure they lose money on it when cyclists …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had a great sleep in Cuglieri and knew that there was an easy day ahead – it started with a downhill of about 10kms to the coast. Today’s unknown was where to spend the night. I thought that there’d be plenty of wild camp options near the coast so I …
Today’s ride on Komoot I woke to the sound of rain and wind. It really wasn’t what I was hoping for, but last night, I noticed that the forecast for today had changed. It was more like yesterday – rainy and windy. It certainly started that way. Also, last night, I couldn’t decide where to …
Today’s ride on Komoot I was really concerned about today. For the last few days, the forecast for toda has been for 28mm of rain. That’s more than an inch so it’s significant. Luckily, last night, this was reduced to 19mm and as I was having breakfast, they reduced it even further. Nice ! Unfortunately, …
Last ride for a while. Today was just under 60kms of easy riding to Yves and Danielle’s place in St. Mitre Les Remparts. I’d been there in September catching up with Pete and Marl and half of their family, so it would be nice to see Yves and Danielle again and to catch up with …
