Global Rider Alex: Since your last post to me regarding adding Sicily to my trip to Corsica and Sardinia I have been kicking a route and schedule around.
I would like your input and the input of FJR Forum Friend Stef on my route:
Saturday, May 30, 2009 and Sunday: Flight from Phoenix to Rome, Italia.
Monday: Secure the rental bike from a vendor recommended by Alex and Stef. Run the Coast Road from Roma to Livorno. Question for Stef and Alex: Can this Mediterranean Route be run in a full day’s time on Monday?
Tuesday: Take the ferry from Livorno to Bastia, Corsica - spend the night.
Wednesday: Spend the night in Ajaccio. A & S: Any recommended roads?
Thursday: Spend the night in Bonifacio. A & S: Your road suggestions?
Friday: Take the ferry to Sardinia, spend the night in Sassari. Restaurants?
Saturday: Ride to Cagliari. Any road and restaurant recommendations?
Sunday: Take the ferry to Trapani, Sicily and spend the night in Marsala.
Monday: Ride to Palermo. Would love your routing and rest stop ideas!
Tuesday: Ride to Siracusa. Once again how would you go and where to eat?
Wednesday: Ferry crossing from Messina to Villa San Giovanni and stay in Vibo Valentia. Do you recommend a better place to spend the “boot” night?
Thursday: Autostrada to Napoli. Looks like this is a real “grinder” of a day!
Friday: This would be my “lay” day, where if I was behind schedule, and I was running out of time/miles, I could catch up on any glitches on this day!
Saturday: Arrive back in Rome by 1600 hrs - turn in the bike and kick back.
Sunday: Fly back to Phoenix, where it’ll be damn flat, dry and 115 degrees!
