Saturday, 21 November 2026 | Aelia Wellness, Nicosia

REGISTER YOUR PLACE

Participation is free, but advance registration is mandatory. We have only 40 places available, so please register only if you genuinely intend to attend.

If your plans change after registering, please inform us as early as possible so that we can offer your place to another cyclist.

THE PROGRAMME

1. The Ride - 52.5 km

Join Nicolas Collinet for a structured group ride featuring training blocks and performance challenges. This is a strong ride, not a social outing, and participants should have the fitness and experience required to ride confidently at a sustained effort.

2. Challenge 01 - Ventus Follow Steps Challenge

On the climb from Sia, riders will follow a nine-step power progression led by Panayiotis, with one minute at each prescribed power level. Once the progression is complete, participants can race to the summit and the Ventus finish line.

3. Challenge 02 - Ventus Race Challenge

A three-kilometre, all-out race effort towards the Ventus finish line, giving riders the opportunity to test their climbing strength and competitive spirit.

Both challenges are optional. You should register only if you feel comfortable with the demands of the group ride and confident that you can attempt the challenges if you choose to participate.

4. Coffee, Snacks & Presentations

After the ride, we will gather at Aelia Wellness for coffee, snacks, and two presentations:

• Sports Nutrition with Morfo Sakki: Practical insights from Sports Dietician Morfo Sakki on fuelling, nutrition, and supporting cycling performance.
• Discover the Ventus Training Camps 2027 with Nicolas Collinet: An introduction to the Switchback Training Camp and Discovery Camp in Provence, France, including the concept and experience behind each camp.

WHO SHOULD REGISTER?

This event is designed for intermediate-level cyclists and above who are comfortable riding in a group, managing sustained efforts, and tackling challenging climbs.

Please ensure that you have the fitness and experience to participate safely. The two challenges are optional, and you should only attempt them if you feel ready to do so.
