Saturday 19 July 2025. Early in the morning the first 500 arrives with Roberto Riva of the Coordination of Bergamo. the first crews also arrive with the trustee of Cagliari Franco Piras (they're staying here in Tempio) and we're in the coolest and most comfortable location you can find for a gathering in the middle of July.
I have always done rallies in the summer since way back in 2004 (tuning rally), always at New Source, tree-lined avenue One kilometer long. Located in the heart of the historic center, it's a summer promenade for locals and tourists, with granite benches to seat hundreds of people, a bar, a fountain, a hotel, a pizzeria, a pub, a tobacconist, and views of the sunset over the Aggius Mountains, 6 kilometers away. And at night, it's all lit up.
On Sunday 20th July, another 500 people arrive from neighbouring towns and from Alghero, coordinated by Pino Sotgiu, and by oliena with the trustee Antonio Sanna. The morning passes between arrivals and registrations with Club gadgets and items donated by me relating to the former Small and Large Motors Museum. At 12,30:XNUMX everyone gets on their motorbikes for a tour of the historic centre and then towards theGolden Gate Hotel Restaurant (direction Sassari, 6 km from Tempio).
After a sumptuous lunch and the cutting of the cake, farewells were said to those returning to their respective locations, including Cagliari (500 km round trip from Tempio).
“A un alt'annu meddu”: see you next year and may it be better.
