Event Description
Activate Cyprus presents the Bedrock Gravel Festival, a premier cycling event set against the varied and dramatic terrain of Cyprus. Combining coastal roads, rugged gravel tracks, and the demanding ascents of the Troodos Mountains, this ride offers a complete gravel experience that highlights the island’s natural beauty, rich culture, and warm hospitality.
The event features multiple route options to suit a wide range of riders — from those looking for a scenic and social gravel ride to experienced cyclists eager for a long, physically demanding challenge. Each route is crafted to showcase the island’s signature contrasts: the shimmering Mediterranean coastline; olive and citrus groves; hidden farm roads; and the rocky, forested climbs into Troodos, where elevation and views reward every pedal stroke.
Activate Cyprus’ gravel routes are fully supported, offering assistance that includes feed zones, mechanical support, and clear navigation guidance. Riders can focus on the joy of riding and exploration while the event organization handles logistics and on-course support.
Beyond the physical challenge, the Activate Cyprus Gravel Ride invites riders to connect with the island’s culture. The start and finish take place in Limassol, a vibrant coastal city known for its lively atmosphere, seaside promenade, and centuries of history. Between rides, participants can enjoy local Cypriot cuisine, hospitality, and the unique blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences that define the region.
Whether choosing a shorter gravel tour or taking on a longer mountainous route, this event is designed to appeal to riders who love great scenery, varied surfaces, and the camaraderie of a well-organized cycling festival.
Bedrock Gravel Festival — ride the coast, climb the mountains, and discover the soul of Cyprus gravel.
