My folks have an apartment in Paphos, well up in the hills in Peyia.

I'd really like to take my bike with on a trip, but I'd like to know how the DH scene is going in Cyrus, where's the best trails etc.

Any info would be great Smile

PS, I've just joined the Cyprus DH facebook page also.

Hey guys!
Local guy here Smile

Same answer as here:

Lots of nice natural and "alpine style" trails in Cyprus. Dusty, rocky and loooooose during the summer, super grippy and fun after they've soaked a bit of water.
The best of it is that you'll never need to use the words "sticky mud" over here ;-)

Trails are usually build and are regularly maintained by the local Forest Department.
They are build as hiking trails but besides a few you'll very rarely see a hiker in there.
Officially it's not allowed to ride in them but I know from first hand that the official policy of the Forest Department is to make a blind eye.

Besides those there are 3-4 downhill courses on the island and a few DH races. (next one on October 11th)

I'm a professional bike guide in Bikin'Cyprus Adventures (http://www.bikincyprusadventures.com/) and I can ensure you that there is AWESOME riding on the island!

If you are looking for company to regularly ride join these two groups on facebook:

Cyprus Downhill
