TROODOS TRAIL
You will be collected at 8 o'clock and we head
for the ski club on Mt. Olympus.
At 1951 meters the highest point in Cyprus offers breathtaking
views across the island and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.
Our bike mechanic unloads the bikes from the trailer and gives
them a final safety check while you receive a route briefing
from one of our cycle guides.
Once every one is ready we start our descent of Olympus, back
down towards Paphos.
The cycle guides lead the group with the support vehicle
following at a discreet distance.
Whether you want to ride at high speeds or take your time and
enjoy the scenery, and take photo's, one of our experts will be
with you to ensure safety and fun. We then head off road for a
12 kilometer forest section between the villages of Troodos and
Platres.
Enjoy great forest trails and breathtaking mountain scenery on
this exciting section. Again, our experts will ride at the pace
you choose.
At Platres, we stop for a coffee before heading down a valley
descent that offers absolutely fabulous views to both the summit
of Olympus and the Paphos Forest.
Midday brings us to a friends farm where we enjoy lunch under
the fruit trees whilst admiring the surrounding scenery. It's
not all down hill! After lunch we ride a gently undulating
valley trail back towards Paphos, through goat farms and remote
villages.
Our support vehicle always follows, so stop where you want to be
picked up or ride the rest of the way with our cycle guides.
It's really up to you.
Ride Olympus is priced per person including Pickup from your
hotel, Bicycle, Mechanical and Paramedical back up, Lunch,
drinks and admission to the Troodos National Park Visitor
Centre.

AKAMAS ADVENTURE
Be ready - We collect you from your hotel at 8
o'clock and drive the group to the remote village of Ineia, high
in the Akamas National Park. Our mechanic prepares the bikes
while you receive a route and safety briefing. Our cycle experts
will then ride with you through Ineia and the surrounding
villages to study the work of the Leona Project , designed to
rebuild many of the buildings destroyed during a large
earthquake about 10 years ago. These beautiful, remote villages
were once the hub of Cypriot life and have barely changed in
centuries. It is not unusual for us to come across donkeys being
ridden to work in these villages!
After exploring these settlements and chatting
to friendly villagers, we leave the roads to head towards the
Western coast at Lara. On the way we spend time studying and
discussing some of the ancient agricultural practices still used
in the farms that we now encounter on our descent to the coast.
If we happen across a farmer at work he is likely to proudly
show us his goats or insist we take as much fruit from him as we
can carry. (luckily our support vehicle is on hand to lighten
the load). After our off road descent we reach Lara, not only
home of nesting female Green and Loggerhead Turtles but one of
our geology research sites. We will show you how the turtles
nest on these beaches and also some amazing local geology that
will change the way you look at Cyprus. After an exciting time
at Lara, we cycle further along the coastal track in time for
lunch. We stop to eat at 'Viklari', a great taverna situated
high on a cliff top, amongst banana and date groves, over
looking the coast.
After lunch, a short walk into the Avagas
Gorge, completes the day. We can date this limestone feature
quite accurately to the Pleistocene era due to the presence of
certain rock types and features. Not only geology here ! Giant
fruit bats, reptiles and birds of prey in their pure setting can
all be seen if we're lucky. And the whole day is at your pace.

your hotel, Bicycle, Mechanical and Paramedical back up, lunch
and drinks.

PAPHOS FOREST

spectacular Paphos Forest. Leaving Pafos at 9.30 we drive to the
Stavros Forest Station. From here we cycle superb roads and
encounter the most beautiful views in Cyprus. Forest trails then
take us to the Cedar Valley, where we ride through a unique area
of over 200,000 giant Cedar trees and enjoy a leisurely lunch.
An exciting high speed descent then takes us back to the car.
