This is our second day in Cyprus, we struck gold! We headed over to Stavrovouni where we found some really fun trails! 🙌 We will be back here again tomorrow as part of a massive loop we have found to ride so stay tuned to see if our legs can handle it! 😬
Let me know in the comments if you know anywhere in Cyprus that we need to ride!
Here we go day two in Cypress and we’re already off to a little bit more of a grally start we’re heading over to somewhere where we know there’s mountain bike tracks so that’s going to be pretty exciting I’m just out riding with this uh traffic Co at the moment yo yo you’ll
Be able to see him on the trails uh so yeah going to go right some mountain bike tracks so bit less uh paved road than yesterday a little bit more gravel and a lot more mountain biking hopefully hopefully a little bit of shred than there you shing how about getting some
Shreding yeah it feels way nicer than Road little bit little bit of gravel road don’t really know where we’re going we’re just going where the Wahoo takes us straight up to some Mountain bik tracks which is going to be exciting hopefully we get to ride normal Trail
Today oh we’re going to we’re going to fire I’ve got faith I’ve seen the video evidence I’ve seen the YouTube shout out to Trail Hunter Cy I’ve seen Trail Hunter Cy shredding some features up here so I’m ready to experience them look at this nice views already massive
Dam oh no I rode straight through the puddle cuzz I was daydreaming oh I got soaked I’m guess not done to the dead end oh I just got absolutely covered in mud rening on me We got a little dribble rain just to keep us feeling like we’re make us feel at home you know little little dribble rain this is fun bombing some uh Gravel Road there’s a we’re heading up to I don’t know you probably can’t see it in the group trying and like zoom in but
It’s h to that thing the monastery I on the top of that hill and that’s where all the trails are so we’ve heard that’s the that’s the rumors on the street so we head there now that’s we’re just out here in a thunderstorm this is this is
Nice th’s just way off to the wrong place you are that tunel I think it’s going to get more rainy yeah nice day for it it’s uh snowing or hailing how can it go from being like 20 odd degrees heat to this it’s pretty exciting isn’t
It like a little bit of variable weather the hail stopped and it’s turned just a little bit of gentle rain so we just going to keep keep cruising I think we’ll actually we’re going to get out of the rain and into the sun again which would be nice the weather the
Weather didn’t get any better again it just got more Haley I think we can just I I can just power out look it’s sunny over there that’s pretty that’s pretty loud thunder so the sun’s straight ahead but we’re going left back up into the back up into the weather oh the bikes getting
Muddy sad there’s a way of that way cruising up it’s still thundering but at least it’s it stopped raining now we’re heading up to that uh Monastery up there I think it’s a monastery double check if I’ll double check if it’s a monastery big building on top of the hill it
Is God the Thunder is exciting isn’t it it’s got flash that one yeah it’s the straon monastery that was incredible pronunciation by myself that’s where we’re heading and then there’s a few bike tracks there we’re an hour in so it’s snack time so for this raide we’ve each got two
Nutella wrapped good energy and then we get more delicious delicious little honey soaked pastry treats we don’t know what’s inside these ones these ones are slightly different these might be more traditional back of style as opposed to the ones we had yesterday which had Custard in them which was way better
Which was tasty which was tasty but these look really nice as well look at that look at it just soaked my hands are really muddy from The Descent it’s pretty grim so that was a bit of a slug G time that was disgusting but we’re here yeah we’re
Here now the rain made the uh Forest Road really really sticky and Slow Rolling but then we just popped out into some tarmac and it felt incredible uh we’re just we’re heading up to there so we’re only according to the Wahoo we’re only only 2.3 km to go
In 150 M climbing but we’ve reached 2 hours so Tom’s insisted it’s snack time snack time which’re too sensible so time for a snack and then we’ll keep keep cracking on that little cat going to eat you here we are the holy Monastery of straon look at the view oh that
Trail now we’re at the top so surrounded by cats it’s time for the Nutella wrap which is a a treat we’ve been looking forward to this whole climb it was a real tasty treat so we’ just been up had a little look at the monastery about one corner back down we’re arrived
At a black Trail dropping straight into the black quick quick tighten of the boots tighten of the shoes I you leading it out am I leading it out don’t want it you know you want me to Le it out I might even I’m going to turn my clutch on for
This all right let’s see E4 oh it’s narrow B te out the gate did you just have a huge that’ be horrible be really quite nasty oh I don’t know about that you know is it all stairs could be oh they’re slippy as well yeah of course they
Are see in the dry this feels like it wouldn’t be too scary but in the wet these are really terrifying steps so we just doing one footed for safety I know it gets good again now it’s grally oh it’s nice start F off oh I don’t want to get wet
Either I don’t know why I don’t want to get wet I’m already soaking was a black be a bit beyond your skill set Thomas now it’s running good though yeah these tires are good oh 90° turn this is straight down rough yes it’s greasy on those bits along here maybe
Yeah oh I’m going to go for the inside line here avoid washing out set high for this one oh dropped out at the last second yeah oh this is good oh this is another bit Tech I don’t really want to put my wheels on the wood so I’m going to KN down in
Wood all right we’re three this has been really exciting I think that was maybe the bottom of the trail I can see the road we’re going to head back out to the road and pedal back up and then there’s a blue to ride as well so turns out false alarm on that
One we’re actually only halfway down this bike just had a quick check of the maps luckily spoted that back there um so we’re actually keep get to keep going down this the E4 which is very exciting not down there that looks a bit too exciting oh this looks really
Good I like an endo they love an endo turn oh sh out oh this track’s so good oh oh steady on this is well good fun it’s a bit scary when you don’t know what’s coming up and cuz it’s rained it might be a bit washed
Out so got to take it quite steady just in case there’s like a loose Boulder or something but it feels like it’s riding good4 this way that was so much fun ah back out here this is the exact spot where we popped out from riding up on
The um we were riding up Forest Road and then this is where we joined the tarmac and it felt amazing cuz the Forest Road had been so slow rolling cruised up the road it was really fast and now this is the top of the blue which is very exciting if it’s
Anything like the bottom section of that last black we’re in for a treat it’s pretty exciting so far carried zero speed out of that turn that was a good technique for me I forgive myself though cuz I’m riding [Applause] blind wo wo little bit of a wrong
Turn I just started following the uh following the river got follow the trail always follow the trail not the river oh puddle slow it right down don’t want to get too wet just started drying off from the the rain earlier okay there we go I like a bur oh it’s
Rubbly it’s hard to slow down when the rubble’s so rubbly when the ground’s so rubbly I should say feels a little bit like riding in Finale front wheel oh because it’s because it’s so um grally and rubbly I like grab too hard on the front breake and then it just
Starts to go like bounce off to one side I’ve also got my tires pumped up super hard for uh going up Road climbs which doesn’t really help with the old trail grip jump oh we’re gaining on Tom he’s chilling oh that’s good we go back in
There oh nice that was sick it’s a good try I’m just going to wipe my lens just I got stressed about that just know how long see the road we’re going down down there as well where we in all that road so this trail goes all the way down to
That time at Road and then we pedal up there to get to the next one we follow traffic couldn’t Tom oh he’s trying to put the power down go on dog go on dog oh sun on our backs this is nice High Line whoa big slide oh let’s see it that was that was nice Tom that was really nice that was good technique and again all you’re great at am oh yeah where are we going probably right you good we want to do the longest trail possible yeah we just want to do as many
Zigzags as we can jum that was so good I’m assuming we keep going this way do I check the map or do I just keep going the M do know it does seem pretty kind but Tom stressed about the map my minutes descending from the top oh yeah
Definitely let’s try and focus on good technique on these turns good technique like wash the front that’s a good technique yeah Oh you start to slide when it gets soft oh that’s exciting ah slot by the bushes check no water on the land oh nice that is nice wa keep going down here must be this exciting Step Up think we’re end hey that’s it I don’t think we can get much further down the
Hill Oh I like that I enjoyed how long it was that was a really good track just kept going all right we’ll find our way back to the road and then we’ll be on to the next Trail so we’re just cruising up this is like the little access path this
Next track looks like a proper downhill track which could be pretty exciting however there’s another big thunderstorm happening just right there so we’re really hoping we can get this track in and then boost the like 20 km back to the house uh probably probably do Tom’s favorite thing which is time traling 2
Km back to the house get washed up back at it again tomorrow pretty pretty exciting but for now let’s see what this downhill track’s like here we go then we’ve made it to the top of the little downhill track but look at this it’s got a proper start
Gate and everything it looks amazing look at the dirt as well looks like it’s going to be a good track you can see some little jumps and stuff uh I think we’re going to get to it pretty quick trying try and get down before El massive thunderstorm eats us up let’s go
BMS and everything this is insane to the moon it’s pretty pretty exciting absolutely down here oh big puddle oh there left down there yeah quick wipe of the lens oh my God that was exciting exting bombing down there I don’t know if you got to see much of that cuz the lens
Was lens looks like it has a bit of mud on it H oh this is so fast catch back up to and see if we can see a bit of Shing oh this is amazing big step dad I high line here oh it’s got rocks in it this is so
Good it’s a bit slippery on the cross country setup but it’s hooking still yeah oh those are big drops look look at that that’s quite Hefty I don’t know if we should save this for downhill wheels and tires just pushed up going to ride the little little drop little drop yeah you ready
For it save the big drop for the big wheels and tires Tom wants me to lead out cuz black one’s done this cuz I’m the sender D this feels about right speed oh it’s bar oh slow down in here though oh my goodness the speed down here is insane yes I was
Scared I thought it might be oh is that it that was good no no I might keep going you think it’s got a little bit more to it no oh no oh we’re in a fire R range oh wow that was good unbelievable KN wow that was fun exciting track all right
Let’s have a look on the map we’ll see if there’s any more Trail EV not we’ll begin the big commute home so we’ve managed to do the downhow track but not Dodge the storm we’re getting soaked again yeah we just love it just makes us
Feel at home home but yeah 20 km home bit of a time trial we’ll get home in like an hour an hour I was hoping to think faster than that but we’ll probably just be doing about 20 on these it’s pretty wet we’re getting pretty soaked on this to me
Home how least there only another like 15 km of this oh it’s actually really slippery there we go that was a pretty exciting day pretty exciting absolutely soaked the bikes are filthy as well the stats from today we’re looking at average speed was only 10 10 K we’re
Out for 4 hours 37 49.8 kilm uh Max Speed 55.9 average power 214 Watts Max 1,239 uh what else is interesting he’s all the numbers there you go 1, 324 although apparently we descended 20 M more than we climbed so that’s uh interesting very interesting anyway time to wash the
Bikes get everything get everything cleaned up ready to go again for tomorrow hopefully find some more tracks they’re just as good as those ones tomorrow see you later
