3-5 Pigadia ski resort 241211

Πρώτη μέρα λειτουργίας του χιονοδρομικού 3-5 Πηγάδια και φυσικά δεν έχασα ευκαιρία. Πέδιλα, μπότες κι όλα τα συναφή ήταν ήδη στ αμάξι μέρες πριν. Ο δρόμος καθαρός παρά τις έντονες χιονοπτώσεις των προηγούμενων ημερών και η μέρα ηλιόλουστη. Είχα όρεξη για ορειβατικό σκι (και μάλλον μ αυτό θ ασχοληθώ φέτος) κι έτσι έβαλα φώκιες και ξεκίνησα την ανάβαση από Παράδεισο και Λούκι. Εφτασα κορυφή κι...

N. GREECE CHAMPIONSHIP SEICH SOY 20-03-11

At Seich Sou forest, North Greece MTB Championship took place. After a very good start, I entered second in the first uphill trail, just a few meters behind the first. When the trail started to go down, and while I was trying to find an open section to pass over the first rider, I had a flat tyre. So I had to stop to pump it, but unfortunately I had forgotten my CO2 cartridge at home. I started to...

3-5 PIGADIA SKI RESORT 20-02-11

Sunday 20-02-11. Maybe the best day of the season. The weather was great and the snow just perfect, especially the early hours. There was enough people but there wasn't any problem on the trucks or the lifts. I met Petros and with Chris we went to Paradeisos trail from mountaineering refuge. Perfect weather, perfect snow and perfect company. This is what I call a perfect day.   ...

3-5 PIGADIA SKI RESORT 31-01-11

Today me and George enjoyed a great day at the resort. The sun was shining and the snow wasn't bad at all. After 5 downhills we went for mountaineering ski from resorts base to the top of the mountain and watched the view to Kaimaktsalan, Jena and mount Olympus. We all hope to snow again soon. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/66054251 ...

3-5 PIGADIA SKI RESORT 26-01-11

Today was the first time I went for skiing for the season. The worst season I can remember. There wasn't any snow at all, and half the resort was not accessible. I went to 3-5 Pigadia with George and Angelos and the day was perfect with great sunshine (but with just a little snow). We all hope that the snow will return. We'll see....

HORTIATIS PANORAMA ROAD BIKE DOWNHILL 19-01-11

Wednesday 19-01-11. A perfect day so I wanted to see the view from above. So I went for Hortiatis mountain uphill all the way to the radar 2 km beyond the finish line of the well known race. At the return I met with 15 other cyclists with the same idea. I didn't have the helmet mounting for the camera so I mount it with two straps on the handlebar and shot a video on the downhill. From now on I will...

ROAD BIKE TRAINING MONOPIGADO 02-01-11

Happy New Year to all. Sunday 02/01/2011 was the first road bike training for the new year. We began (after the greetings and the like) about 40 people, with our dear Mr. Georgiadis telling us about the route, without giving much importance to what he was saying. Until the good staff came. Ascent from Vasilika to Monopigado through a dirt road. Some of course did not dare that, despite it was quite...
