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.
