Bike Odyssey: The Vision

 

"The conception of ​​"Bike Odyssey" begun with two people, Makrigiannis Christos and Spagouros Alkiviadis, who have a long course with mountain biking. For this vision to come to life, Bike Expert, supervised by Makrigiannis Christos, contributes with the organization of Bike Odyssey and set Spagouros Alkiviadis as a consultant for the completion of the race in the best way possible. Every year, both of them are in front of the starting line of "Bike Odyssey" to welcome and prepare all athletes for this challenging race."

He has participated in many races in America, athletic events such as «Ride For Roses" (charity event in Texas-organized by Lance Armstrong Foundation) and races in Europe (such as the "JEANTEX Bike Transalp" - 8 days cross the Alps). These  are some of the highlights of his - over decade- involvement in sport. In addition, except from managing the Bike Expert and the Bike Odyssey, he is also the founder of the B&N Cycling website, whose B&N Cycling Team is actively involved in cycling, running, multisports and is also a member of the SY.F.A.GE.

Alcibiades Spagkouros was born in Athens. He currently lives and works in Athens as a professional rescuer. His experience in difficult rescues in many remote areas in Greece is vast. He has traveled and explored the uplands as part of naturalistic activities. His great love is cycling and mountain running with a lot of racing experience and many awards. Alkiviadis Spagouros has a lot of experience in the area of Pindos and this makes him the most suitable person to have in "Bike Odyssey" after he has crosed the route as planned in the eight days race.
