Cyprus Gran Fondo

29-31 MARCH 2024

Recon Camp

Recon the race routes in a more relaxed pace.. Long hours in the saddle, sunshine and seaside hotel! On a 3-day Training Recon Camp we will take you on the routes of Cyprus Gran Fondo in a nice pace so that you an enjoy the scenery and see the main points of the races.

Days with low traffic mountain roads that are perfect for training - watch out for the occasional herd of goats! On the way we will pass by stone-built villages untouched by time, ancient historical landmarks dating back to the first Greek colonisation, the rugged Paphos forest roads, luscious vineyards of Omodos and the glistening blue mediterranean waters of Aphrodite’s Rock. We finish off our training recon camp with the actual race of UCI Cyprus Gran Fondo, a qualifier event for the World Championship of Gran Fondo.
