Good morning and adieu Athens!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We shuttled out of busy Athens to historic Megera where we will began \u00a0the cycling adventure of Stage 2! It seems like the sprawling Athens goes on forever!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the Road – Distance 82km \/ 51mi | Elevation 1720m \/ 5,743 ft<\/h3>\n

A truly amazing day on the bike as we travelled from the Saronic to the Corinthian Gulf. After an optional coffee in Megera,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we gently climbed out of town – it was super quiet as we slowly ascend through olive and walnut groves. As we gain a little elevation (the first 13km is a comfortable 5% with a few 14%\u2019ers!) we got glimpses both of the sea and Athens behind us and the Corinthian Gulf opening up ahead.<\/p>\n
