This 1.5 hour hike-a-bike starts from the dead end road climb from Padru, heading eastwards up and over the pass towards the coast. It's a tough one, but very worthwhile.

The singletrack hiking path is narrow and technical; steep with rocky granite boulders and streams after the rain. It's plenty grippy enough though, and doable if you take it steady. It took us 25 minutes from the road up to the top, and just under an hour down the other side until it became rideable again.

The reward? A marvellous string of mountain waterfalls and natural pools in the Monte Nieddu conservation area, not to mention the mega descent to the sea.

It's now very washed out. You carry your bike a lot :/ Unfortunately, we didn't have much fun. The vegetation is dense, so you shouldn't wear expensive clothing. Otherwise, it's very beautiful, and you're mostly alone.
