Peloponnissos, Jan. 06, 2003


For the fun of it:

It was a really bright and warm day too, so my friend Spyros asked if we might ride a small loop around Peloponnissos. Given that we had a limited time, that is we had to be back in about 6-7 hrs after depart, he suggested we ride to Akrata and then do the small loop of the three northern lakes of Peloponnissos: Tsivlou, Doxas and Stymphalia.

This is most of the trip we did. Actually I have omitted the motorway from Athens to Akrata, and the way back from Kiato to Athens.

Says Spyros... "Looks like my bike is not parked correctly... Should I move it to the edge of the road?!"

But he forgot to fold the sidestand, as he pushed the bike a few meters... The front wheel was into the small 10cm ditch! And presto... the bike on its side!

Not that bad really, just a scar on the cylinder head protective.

Nice signposts in the thick of the woods. Not too much mud, yet...
