Ride through Mount Taygetus: A breathtaking ride
This is a flash one-day event inspired by a recent visit to a breathtakingly beautiful location, where we were utterly captivated by the vibrant spring colors, colorful flowers, and enchanting aromas. We were so moved by the beauty of this place that we decided to set up this event, because it’s something you truly need to experience too.
The day includes everything you need for a fantastic cycling adventure: an e-bike, vehicle support, and a delightful meal at the end of the ride in the city of Kalamata. The ride starts from a place called Leontario, and for 40km, the road gently and steadily climbs to the mountain’s summit at 1400m—the highest point the road reaches. From there, a joyful descent begins, ending in the town of Kalamata. Once there, you can dive into the water and enjoy a well-deserved lunch that we will have arranged for you.
It promises to be a marvelous day on the bike, and we are eager to share this magical place with you. We look forward to experiencing these unforgettable moments together!

Waarom alles in het Engels?
Πολλά από τα μέλη μας προέρχονται από το εξωτερικό και για λόγους ευγένειας, τιμώντας την Ελληνική Φιλοξενία, αποφασίσαμε να έχουμε σαν επίσημη γλώσσα τα αγγλικά.
Είμαστε όλοι μια παρέα, ας μην αφήσουμε τη γλώσσα να είναι εμπόδιο.
Ευχαριστούμε για την κατανόηση.
