Rás selection camp day 6/6

A bad day to be a white sock in the Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri

Noel McGlynn just looking for your fourth and fifth riders now. Big week of base and weather resilience training for your first three slots. 

A short dawdle into Paphos to finish things off. After a nice, if wet, night of camping, fuelled by instant coffee and porridge we headed on. We were chatting to a bike tour guide who said there are two WT pros here at the moment. Add to Matt Brennan from day 1, we saw Domen Novak a few km later, 100% success rate. The day threatened to be dry, but early afternoon drizzle made it 6 days of rain… Some champagne gravel, before a pit stop at the airport to arrange a big taxi for tomorrow. A short 10km repeat of the cycle from our arrival pedal day, stopping off to pick Toms old crankset up, before rolling into our hotel right as check in opened. 

Overall a very enjoyable trip. Great roads, drivers, gravel. Very accessible, easy to get around and good value. Pity we got 6 out of the 20 annual rainfall days, but them the breaks.
