There wasn’t a lot of sleep last night. What sounded like a marching band would strike up every twenty minutes – super loud. The last one I heard was at about midnight. At 4am, I think they started pouring concrete nearby, with trucks, pumps and people barking orders. Not exactly restful, but there wasn’t much …
Sardinia rides on Komoot I spent nearly two weeks in Sardinia resting then riding, and after the cycling, I need another rest. What a fantastic place to ride ! I arrived by ferry – from Toulon to Porto Torres. It was a very quiet trip with not many people on board and we arrived at …
Today’s ride on Komoot Syracuse is a nice place to spend a couple of days. I especially liked the Greek and Roman ruins in Neapolis. The amphitheatres were the highlight for me. Sicily’s historic sites have been a surprise to me. I had no idea, so it’s been good looking around. Today’s route took me …
The Malta Part Part 1 – Pozzallo to Syracuse Part 2 – Pozzallo to Syracuse My earliest start today. The alarm went off at 4am, so I could be at the port for 5am in order to get the 6am ferry from Valetta back to Pozzallo in Sicily. I wasn’t very happy to wake up …

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 …
