In April 2018, I will start a month long bicycle tour in Greece which I'm calling the Labours of Hercules Bike Tour of the Peloponnese. The basic aim is to cycle around the Peloponnese in Greece, stopping by at places mentioned in the 12 Labours of Hercules. Along the way I will cycle to ancient sites like Tiryns, over mountains, around lakes, and even on to the entrance of the realm of Hades!
Cycling the Hercules Trail
This page is like the index of a book. From here, you can go through to the different blog posts I have written about the Bike Tour. If a link isn't active yet, it's because I still have to write that bike touring blog post. Documenting the project is probably going to be a longer process than completing the bike tour itself. With this in mind, I expect I'll keep updating this page right up until the end of 2018.
