The Slow Spoke is a place where I put my thoughts to words and hopefully some will read them. Since I'm a major bike geek most entries will be bike related but, not always. I'm also guilty of thinking far too much so you never know what the topic will be. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

While Over in Cyprus.......

Went on a nice holiday in Cyprus and did far too much to tell all here so I'll just post a couple of pics and a ride video of my mtb outing in the Troodos Mountains. That should be good for a few thousand words I'd say :-)

Here are just a couple of the spots we hit in Cyprus. There was honestly sooooo much there.

Some old Roman ruins...


Some mosaics which were part of the old Roman villas which once stood here. They date back over 2000years.


and some tombs. Again, this is just a small sample :-)



Then we hit Egypt.....




But I couldn't do any of this without hitting some trails while in Cyprus....



Here's a video of Day 1 on the trails. Beautiful place indeed.......

Finally, we hit Amsterdam before heading home. Cool place for sure....


That's the shortened version of our trip. It was awesome on every one of the 17days away. What a great trip beginning to end.
