The idea

One base. A different ride every day.

The SS125 and the mountain roads of Ogliastra work naturally as day rides, from the Supramonte and Genna Silana to the Tacchi and the east coast.

The focus is the riding-rich east of Sardinia around Ogliastra and the old Orientale Sarda. The Baunei–Dorgali section via Genna Silana is one of the island's best-known motorcycle roads.

Easy to plan: each ride is organised around area, road character, day length and useful stops.
