I’d already mapped more than 1,200 km of Cyprus trails before HATs existed. Years of exploring, dead ends, locked gates, river crossings, broken ribs and a lot more riding later, that became a curated network of more than 2,100 km. This is how I built it — and why I’m giving it away free.

Cyprus probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of adventure riding. It should be. From fast mountain tracks and pine forests to river crossings, rocky climbs and the Mediterranean coast, I’ve spent years exploring the island — including building the Cyprus TET — and kept roughly 2,100 km of the very best riding. Here’s why I think ADV riders have been overlooking it.
