L’Étape Cyprus with Aidan Buttigieg

In partnership with L’Etape Cyprus by Tour de France, Aidan Buttigieg headed over to capture one of cycling’s BEST events for FulGaz.

When we asked Aidan what he thought of the riding in Cyprus he said “I’ve ridden bikes in a lot of places… Malta, Belgium, Australia, the UK but hands down Cyprus is my favourite to date.”

“The scenery, the climbs, and the climate make this Mediterranean paradise a must for any serious cyclist.”

This collection, and the L’Étape race, pay homage to the Greek Gods, starting and finishing Aprodities’ birthplace, Paphos, and visiting Mount Olympus along the way.

Whilst these two routes are quite long, you can use the segment tool in FulGaz to trim them down into bite-sized chunks for your indoor sessions.

You can find these rides under NEW in FulGaz or by searching “Aidan”.
