This weekend, heavy rain and storms were forecast. So I had booked a cheap flat in the historical centre of Oristano to stay dry. As the weather was finally going to be bad also on Sunday I negotiated with my landlord for an extra day...
I only set off again this morning: 30 kilometres of flat road where I would often ride quietly between marshes or cultivations on dry marshes.
To cross the Laguna di Marceddi there is a bridge that I was told at the tourist office in Oristano was closed to cars, in fact it is open now, even if it is in bad condition.

Then, the dish is over and we start to climb. A first break at 1pm to eat a tomato and a cereal bar, and a second at 2pm with a banana!
I hesitate a bit at the junction to Le Dune di Piscinas, I heard it’s very pretty, but I had eliminated it from the route because there were at least three or four kilometres of track that seemed difficult to walk. If we add that with the three days of heavy rain the ruts must be waterlogged... no regrets!
I go to Montevechio and see if we can visit the mine... but on Monday we have to pre-book, which I don’t see doing by bike on the route...
I arrive at the hotel around 3pm, a bit tired and glad I didn’t plan a longer or more difficult trip!
