Sunset on a quad over the Roman Sabina

Palombara Sabina

The whole ride is timed backwards from the sunset, so the start moves through the year. What matters is being up on the Sabina viewpoints when the light goes.

How the day goes

  1. Kit and briefing at the base in the afternoon, then the machines onto the road.
  2. Tarmac out to Moricone or Stazzano, then dirt up towards the viewpoints.
  3. The stop at the top for the sunset, with an alcohol-free aperitivo in hand.
  4. The ride back down once the colour has gone out of the sky.

The operator says this one is not for first-timers, and it only runs when enough machines are booked to make up the group.
