Larnaca After the Rain 26/11/2011

This is my favorite mountain bike ride I usually do in the morning during the week.  I start from Patichio Theatre at the Faneromeni entrance then I enter the Aliki path.  From there I take the Artemidos Avenue and I finish at Dromolaxia traffic lights (Note:  I always take the sidewalk not the main street).  On the way back I turn into the Hala Sultan Tekke.  The bike ride is about 20km.  Here is the link to the route http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27764006.  The following pictures were taken after a rainy night.  Enjoy!
