There are several cycling races in Greece, but not like the particular one.
An eight days cycling race, so tough, so cruel and so demanding, does not exist nor in Greece neither in the rest of the world. It was baptized Bike Odyssey, a name inspired from the Odyssey of Homers, because the difficulties and the sufferings for completing this race are similar to those that Odysseus himself passed to return home. It is really important to cross with a bike in eight consecutive days the mountains of Pindos, the biggest mountain range of Greece with the highest pick at 2,637 meters.
For all participants of this cycling race deserves in advance a big thumbs up and a wish of good luck.
