2023 Hellenic Mountain Race.. 🇬🇷
Few familiar names on this including Lars, Mick Collins & Stu Taylor. Possibly a few more but can’t put real names to forum names!

Mick just put on the ‘gram “it’s stupidly difficult…”
Think sun zero temperatures were also predicted for the race which I think caught a few riders out before the start

Blimey, 29000m of climbing in 940k....

That big peak in the middle looks like a tough one / HAB based on the route profile.. >20% up and down.
Always fancied a trip to ride in Greece so interested to hear more about the route. Looks nice there https://www.instagram.com/hellenicmountainrace/

The weather the organisers are posting and the weather some of the riders are posting are quite the contrast. Mick has posted (on the ‘gram) weather that looks ‘very welsh’ whilst the organisers are getting blue sky

I met Webster Wickham on the Itay Divide last year. Nice bloke. He seemed to get throught that steadily enough but has already scratched from this.
No idea if he posts on here. Hi Webster if you're reading.
