I think the relevant phrase is: 'Long time reader, first time poster...'.  Which is to say: I've been an avid reader of this site pretty much since it came into being, and -- particularly over the past few years when travel has been so difficult -- both comfort and torment myself by vicariously enjoying the adventures described on here.  So now, I thought, it's probably time to give something back.

I'm fortunate enough to have been able to spend a couple of months this spring based in Athens -- for work, but I still had the weekends.  And I also brought a battered old bike along with me.  So I thought I'd write up on here some brief accounts of my cycle trips around Attica, not least because, in my view, Greece is one of the best and most underrated places to ride a bike.  I've greatly enjoyed (and been inspired by) the Andersons' various accounts of their Greek cycling trips; this journal can't compete with those, but I hope it might be helpful to some people anyway.

This isn't a 'proper' cycle tour: it's an account of a handful of day trips (and one weekend trip).  But it's still about exploring by bike...

(A logistical note: I'm now back in the UK, so this isn't going to be a real-time journal either.  The appearance of entries will probably correlate (absolutely, not inversely...) with how much Proper Work I should be getting on with.)
