THE PREPARATION
03.
Before starting, we provide a briefing on E-Mountain Bike techniques, including bike stance, braking, cadence, motor use, and line choice for technical terrain. The ride begins from Lake Metalliou along smooth dirt roads and gentle rolling trails, allowing riders to warm up while taking in the surrounding wetlands and forested valleys. The route gradually climbs toward Lake Skra, where the turquoise waters and surrounding greenery create a perfect spot for photos and a short break. From Lake Skra, we continue along flowing forest trails and rural tracks toward the historic village of Skra, passing scenic viewpoints, wildflowers, and areas where local wildlife can be spotted. Rolling climbs and brief technical sections keep the ride engaging for enthusiasts, while e-MTB support ensures sustained flow. After a stop in Skra village to explore the area and its history, we ride back toward Lake Metalliou via a loop of mixed terrain, combining technical descents, gravel tracks, and smooth forest trails to finish the ride with rhythm and fun.
Back at Lake Metalliou, a cold beverage awaits, giving riders a chance to relax, share stories, and enjoy the surrounding nature after a perfect day on the trails.
THE FINISH LINE!
