Spring is here.

Well it's warming up over here, we still have some overcast days but T-shirts and shorts are the order of the day when cycling. To us locals this is possibly one of the best times of the year. Flowers abound everywhere that we walk or ride; Wild Cyclamen, Poppy Anemone, Romulea, Mandrake, Ashphodel, Almond Blossom and many many more.

This year Cyprus has entered the eurozone, our currency is now the Euro, (over here they call it the "evro"). For mainland Europeans this will make travelling to Cyprus much easier.

Whilst we at Wheelie Cyprus are mountain bikers more and more of our guests are in fact "roadies". They tell us that Cyprus is a fantasssstic; yes fantassssstic place for road biking. Excepting the main link roads, the roads are relatively quiet, excellent circular routes are possible at any sort of distance that you want and as much climbing as you want can be built into the ride. Cyprus offers sustained climbing possibilities with sustained climbs of 600 metres or more easily possible.

Our side of the island, the Chrysochous bay area, is one, if not the most beautiful areas of the island. We have the stunning and wild Akamas National Park, the tranquil setting of Latchi harbour and the peace and quiet of the Pafos Forest. It really is a great place to walk and ride.

Why not consider a holiday on two wheels, it seems that more and more Brits are. Take a look at the link to a recent article on the BBC web site.

Walking is a real joy in Cyprus during the spring months, the wild flowers will be out in abundance, the temperature begins to rise and the sun shines. The pace of life is relaxed and after a brisk walk in the beautiful Cyprus countryside you can enjoy a healthy Cyprus meze lunch. Go on, treat yourself to a healthy break, you know that you deserve it!
