This route in beautiful Sardinia starts in Terralba and takes you through the interior on winding and often very narrow mountain roads to Nuoro. The route is approximately 173 kilometers and can be done in one day. A few stops are scheduled along the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sights.

We start the ride at the Q8 tank station in Terralba. After about 15 minutes you will see on the left the Nuraghe sa Domu Beccia (RP3), a complex nuraghe (towers built in the Bronze Age in Sardinia) with a special architecture. Bastions with six towers surround the central tower with courtyard. In the courtyard you can see the opening of a well, while around the nuraghe are the remains of a settlement, surrounded by a wall with towers for protection. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop safely here.

We take the beautiful SS442, it meanders through the beautiful landscape with beautiful panoramas and many curves to Laconi where we visit the Parco del Castello di Laconi (RP8). In this park you can stretch your legs and enjoy the beautiful nature and the ruins of the Laconi castle. Archaeological excavations and wall stratigraphy have made it possible to identify interventions from different times. Next to a kind of tower stands the actual palace, which has been the residence of the Aymerich family, Marquises of Laconi since the 17th century. It consists of a large room with a rectangular plan with a series of arched windows of the Gothic-Catalan type. The view is really beautiful.

After this stop we continue on the SS128, again a great road for motorcyclists, tight asphalt, many bends and more than two lanes wide with great panoramic views. So enjoy! We stop briefly in Sogono (RP10) for a delicious pizza.

After lunch we continue our way via the SS128 and drive via the large reservoir Lago di Gúsana via Gavoi to Orani. At RP11 you have a view of Lago di Gúsana, an artificial lake and its surroundings, in the territory of Gavoi, Sardinia, Italy. The lake was built in the 1930s to store water for an electricity generator (central to Coghinadordza), and it included an ancient Roman bridge and an ancient Nuragic archaeological site. It is now a tourist destination. We stop briefly at RP14 to enjoy the view over the reservoir.

In Orani you can visit the Nivola Museum (RP18), this is a museum dedicated to Costantino Nivola's work within the larger context of contemporary art, landscape and living traditions. The museum was founded in 1994, a few years after Nivola's death, and has been expanding ever since. The permanent collection contains more than two hundred sculptures, paintings and drawings by Nivola, who played a unique role in 20th-century modernism as an artist working closely with architects.

When you leave the town of Orani you will see the ruins of the Chiesa di Sant'Andrea (RP19) on your right. The ruins of the church of Sant'Andrea di Bovarizia, built by Benedictine monks around the thirteenth century and abandoned at the end of the sixteenth century due to a landslide in the area where it stood. The remains of the church are built in stone blocks.

Via the SS128 that changes into the SS129 we continue to the end of this beautiful ride in Nuoro. This route has beautiful roads, panoramas and a number of nice sights for enthusiasts. I rate this route with 4 **** Stars.
