Ride with Big Pine Riders to Vathihori through Megara fields. The first stop was at Panahrandou monastery. After this point an easy climb starts on dirt roads and through the olive groves. As a navigation point we had a gorge between two hills in the distance so it was trial and error with the routes that we chose. We hit a couple of dead ends and we had to cross a few ploughed fields to get on the right road. Soon after we reached the church of St. Konstantin the real climb started and it was hard! However, once we reached the plateau of Vathohori it was all worth it as the scenery was nothing like the dry lower planes. It was all green pastures surrounded by blooming trees and oak forests. We relaxed there for a while but we didn't have time to linger as the dusk was upon us and we had some difficult roads to ride. Nevertheless, it was all downhill from that point!
