Where to go / Re: Mountain Biking
« on: January 15, 2016, 05:51:47 PM »
Cheers,

I would be bringing my bike with me if I did. With spares. I've ridden around Anopolis and down Pachnes to Loutro. Plenty up there if you get that way. Elounda has stuff near by and Germab your company who are very good. But you need a bit of German to get best out of it

Where to go / Mountain Biking

Anyone done any serious mountain biking around Plakias before. Or some hard mountain walks near by I could try ride a bike down? If I get over this year I may bring the bike as well as the guitar. It might keep me away from the bar. There appears to be plenty I could try on google earth but just wondered if anyone had any route ideas. Don't mind the ups being on dirt roads but looking to come down narrow technical footpaths.

Been a few years since I brought the bike over but these are from last time to give you an idea of the type of routes I might be looking for.

The swings at the bar are interesting when drunk

Should be playing Costa Chrysoulas Friday 30th May. Then at biker festival at Rich and Famous at the weekend. Maybe elsewhere too :)

I used to stay at the Neos Omalos on the plateau.

The other option is to get a car and head to Chora Sakia. Leave it there and get the Ferry to Loutro. Far closer and you could do the quieter Areadena gorge instead. Then quick blast down the Imbros gorge the day after before coming back to Plakias

If it were me I would take a few days out and go to Chania. It's great for a visit. Then get the early bus to Samaria. Do the walk and go back to Chania for another night. Or even better get off the Ferry at Loutro and spend time there. Fabulous place

I phone Olympic and ask them for cheaper price than the website. Usually get another £20 to £30 per person off

We ride again at end of May. Probably one gig for fun at Costa Chrysoula. Maybe some others. Hoping to play at Mes Tin Ammo during the day on last weekend of a May. Think there's a motorbike rally on so could be lively. Same as last year. No practice and just for fun. Hopefully see you at one of the gigs

Thank you. Really enjoyed it. Were some interesting characters there too :). Become part of our holiday experience but even better knowing people enjoyed it. Hopefully see you again next year

Olympic call him the hermit as they never see him between start and end of season

Two gigs next week. Just a bit of fun. Come along if you are around.

Costas Chrysoulas Saturday 20th 9:00pm

Joe's bar Sunday 21 9:30pm

We are two friends who met on holiday in Plakias and found out we both like playing and singing. We haven't rehearsed as we live in separate cities but we should manage to cobble a couple of sets together. Some songs we both know. Some we will have to wing it on. Be great to see you if you fancy coming along. Like I said it's just some fun for two old blokes who should know better :)
