anybody been mountain biking in sardinia ?

A mate of mine has – very dry, thorny and rocky. Not much singletrack, unless you have a local guide. I wouldnt go with my bike alone. Also very hot in the summer.

Another friend went on a mtb organised holiday there and had a good time.

As said, too hot for biking. My boss is currently buying a property there, it's 29 degrees there today.

only road biked there – which is magificent.

MTB with a guide only I would of thought, and yes VERY hot, but great in spring and autumn

We live here in Sardinia half-way down the east coast and there is a good and developing MTB scene:-
1. MTB races Oct+Nov (they have road races all summer)
2. 5-day enduro rally each year in June, with 25 people in 2008, 50 people in 2009,…
3. excellent "exploratory" riding on firetrails, rough limestone shepherds' tracks,…we live in the wildest part of the island
4. we have people to come to stay to do mountain biking: 2 Belgians this evening, 3 Sards on Saturday, 2 English people today who've hired bikes(We run a guesthouse for outdoor sports people, the MTB page is here) I try to go riding with guests – there are plenty of places you wouldn't go by yourself (no mobile phone coverage, no people,….)

There is quite a lot of info, photos, videos you can download from our site which gives you a good feel for the riding here. In fact, the MTB part of the site needs updating since more and more people are coming, this is a job for November…the new stuff is in the blog. As regards the rest of the island, Skedaddle do tours, and there is a good MTB scene in Cagliari.

If you have specific ?? you can email me peter@peteranne.it and I'll try to help

ciao Peter
