For those of you who don't know, Cyprus is the third largest island
in the Mediterranean & is located in the North-eastern part. Large
areas of the island remain completely unspoiled. Cyprus is an island
steeped in history & has now been included in UNESCO'S list of World
Cultural Heritage site. It's a Mecca for Mountain bikers and road
riders alike, with hundreds of miles of dry sun-shining cycling to
be had. |

Zephyros Adventure Sports:
A warm welcome greets everybody who goes on an Adventure Sports trip
with Zephyros.
 You will be transported
to just below the summit of Mount Olympus at about 1730m from sea
level.
The organisers will do a
quick inspection to check on the bikes, helmets ect & make sure they
are in tip top order, then it's off you go.
A nice slow roll out
before the fun begins, you will wind your way down through the
spectacular Cyprus pine trees lining the road sides. Passing through
pretty mountain villages to your lunch stop nestling on the
mountainside hill with beautiful panoramic views.
Tuck in to a typical
Cyprus meal of salad, bread, goats cheese, dips and much more all
arranged by Zephyros Adventure Sports, a spread fit for a
ravenous cyclist.
After lunch it's back
in the saddle and off you go, what a lovely way to spend the day
cycling through the Cypriot countryside. No need to carry a map for
this route, just keep heading downhill towards the sea.
No need to worry about
all your kit because the transport will be meeting the group as it
heads down the mountain at various points along the way.

Ride Olympus:
We collect you at 8 o'clock and 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 our 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 to Paphos. Our cycle
guides lead the group with our
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 to a
valley descent that offers fabulous
views to both the summit of Olympus
and the Pafos Forrest. Midday brings
us to a friends farm where we enjoy
our lunch under fruit trees while
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 is following 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.
