There's some trails up in the Troodos Mountains, dunno much about any of them but we saw a bunch of riders on Marin full sussers up there & a van with some writing on about guided rides if thats any help. ๐Ÿ™„

The roads up there seem good for road work too, (the Ben Nevis cafe at the top is actually higher than Ben Nevis itself)
There's a footpath around Mount Olympus that we walked & I reckon would be ace on a bike but I dunno if it's allowed.

Thanks. It seems a definite proposition with just a short flight from the UAE....

Hi
I live in paphos, there is plenty of both here!
If you enjoy climbing there are some nice road rides. The mountain has a lot of stones ( had snake bike punctures till I went tubeless) not much single track. But great views. I prefer off road. Cycling here has picked up in the last couple of years. Google earth is were I get my ideas from. But have a look here.

Sure. I'm only mountain now sold the road bike. There is a big event around March time. Google sunshine cup Cyprus.
All the best with your plans. Avoid July and August not as bad as we're you are but humidity I the 80's and above. To hot even in the troodos.
