UltraBiking Sardinia
INSPIRATION
WHERE OUR IDEA OF ADVENTURE WAS BORN
The Ultra Biking Sardinia is inspired by the world of epic cycling of the early 900 so well told by the pen of Albert Londres in the book "Tour de France, Tour the souffrance"; a cycling characterized by long distances, traveled by day as at night, a cycling that did not stop in front of extreme weather conditions where every stage was a great adventure!! Participating in the UBS Xtreme means going back in time, abandoning the certainties of everyday life, immersing yourself in nature, confronting your limits and discovering new depths within yourself. We welcome you to the world of Ultrabiking !!
ARE YOU READY TO DISCOVER NEW HORIZONS ?

Whether you choose to live this experience trying to achieve your best performance or you want to enjoy every moment as in a trip planning refreshments and night breaks, the UBS Xtreme will allow you to find your own dimension.
