“Active Rest” day, during which you and the Guides will decide the best option
THE RECOMMENDED ROUTE: A rest day is possible … but it has never happened that “the Tour riders” skip a stage. What to do will be decided together with the Guides, also based on the cycling level of the participants!
Of course, it is NOT a bad idea to load the bike in the car and drive 40 km to Pozzo San Nicola, and from there pedal along the flatlands, past the Tonnara and the Stintino salt pans, past the Cesaracciu pond, see the small town of Stintino, then go to La Pelosa and Punta Falcone with its views of Asinara and Isola Piana, and then return to the car (thus completing about thirty km by bike).
But a leisurely bike ride around Alghero and its immediate surroundings, perhaps even visiting local businesses (… the wines of Sella e Mosca, for example!), isn’t a bad idea either!
But even a whole day of relaxation all together on the hotel beach or on one of those seen from the bike isn’t exactly bad!
And why is it perhaps a bad idea to have one or more teams participate, unranked, in the team time trial scheduled for the day of the GiroSardegna?
Or perhaps it’s a bad idea to plan a trip to the prison island of Asinara, where you could also go by bike?
In short, there are endless things to do: just decide together, and then do it!
It will be another opportunity to “bond” the group!
