MTB TRAINING IN THE SNOW 16-12-10

The first snow came. I took the opportunity and with Anthony started climbing to Chortiatis mountain. We met at 13:00 at Agios Paulos and cross the Sheich Sou forest from snowy dirt roads. The winter landscape was so beautiful and the weather cold. We went to the antenna park of Chortiatis and continued through the dirt road  to mountain refuge. Everything around was snowed. And not just white, but with enough snow. The hands of Anthony were freezing as his selection of gloves wasn't the best. Games with snow and drifting here and there. Of course every now and then people with SUVs they found the opportunity to drive them once a year in the soil. It must have been in the forest about 20 cars some of them rev up so much that it sounded to the village. Back from Panorama cause we didn't have much time as it was getting dark.

ROAD BIKE TRAINING 15-12-10

Today we went for road bike training with Kostantinidis Costas. The classic route, Thessaloniki, Souroti, Vasilika, Galatista, Agios Prodromos and return through Raidestos. 100 km with the temperature to minus. We saw the first snow after Galatista. It was just a few but certainly something.

ROAD BIKE TRAINING 12-12-10

Sunday 12-12-10 and the established road bike training, takes tour dimensions (though not lacking those who turn it into a race forcing others to go to the max and the group eventually scatters). The route was Redestos, Galatista, Poligiros (with a stop for tea that had brought the car escort) and return Simantra, Triglia and eventually Trílofon. The day was just amazing at the beginning as at the return we had enough wind, which together with many kilometers we had done, made it difficult enough. 148 km in 6 hours and as always the video and track.

ROAD BIKE TRAINING 05-12-10

Sunday with a spectacular sunny sky but enough wind (they said 4 Beaufort but I think it should have been at least 6) the standard meet for road bike training was extremely successful. We started at 09:00 from Vulgary and met with guys from Velos at the way to Phoenikas. All together 67 people (even Weasel came from Kilkis). The car drivers were looking, as we went out for protest. The wind was blowing from our back at the beginning so we were traveling at crazy speed on the way to Moudania. After turning for Triglia the pain started as we were riding against the wind. Passing through villages, the old men in the cafes were looking at us with admiration. They were rather surprised to see so many cyclists together. Back from Trilofos where the strong wind didn't let us enjoy the downhill. 120 km in total from my house in 4 enjoyable hours.
