On our way to Delphi, for our last major site, we had go over the Rio Antirio bridge, between Peloponnese et Thessalie.. over 2 km long (longer the the Golden Gate bridge). Build for the Olympics, it was a great view and a different path for our bicycle riders.

124 km to go, and a major climb to Delphi... our destination of the day.

Little trafic, respectful greek drivers and limited wind made it a pleasant experience.

Dedicated to Rockstro and her H bridge !
