Ultra-Cycling Expedition
Mont Ventoux > Sicily
Tiramisu Express
September 12/13–20, 2026
Legend has it that a pack of Tirex once roamed the south of France 80 million years ago.
In autumn, as the pastures of Mount Ventoux grew scarce, the Tirex migrated south to the village of Finale in Sicily — to feast on a giant tiramisu.
Today, we pay tribute to that ancient journey.
Welcome to the Tiramisu Express.
ORIENTATION
Carefully prepared GPS coordinates, then it’s up to you to define your strategy and plan your route according to your preferences: distance, type of roads, surfaces, weather, elevation…
SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Total self-sufficiency: accommodation, ferry, food…
No assistance is allowed.
TIME LIMIT
To become a finisher and a true Tirex, there is only one time limit for both events: Sunday, September 20th at 6:00 PM.
THE
ISLANDS
PATH
1 300 Km
19 000 D+
7 days
The Island Path is a labyrinth. The Corsican and Sardinian canyons show no mercy.
Time is ticking.
The ferries from Toulon, Bonifacio, and Cagliari won’t wait.
Why ride?
For the adrenaline of leaping from boat to boat, from island to island, like a sea nomad — over 1,300 km and 19,000 meters of climbing.
THE
VOLCANOES
PATH
2 100 Km
27 000 D+
8 days
The Volcano path never stops.
No compromises — just a head-on confrontation with Italy’s volcanoes.
A gruelling challenge stretching nearly 2,100 km and 27,000 meters of elevation gain.
Should you have chosen the islands path and being awakened by the ship’s horn ?
Maybe.
