keen to enjoy a day&#8217;s riding, there was a problem&nbsp; &#8211; solved by planning a day with E-bikes.&nbsp; I contacted my friends Manu and Fiona Coleman, who run&nbsp; \u201cFit in Crete\u201d, a family-run company based in Kissamos offering E-bike rental\/guided tours, kayaking, wild swimming\/snorkelling, gorge hikes and coastal walks.&nbsp; Could they organise a morning&#8217;s ride for us in the foothills of the White Mountains ?&nbsp; Of course they could, and suggested a 45km route, through the Theriso Gorge, climbing to the high villages of Zourva and Meskla, before descending back towards Chania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We met Fiona and mutual friend Paul in the bougainvillea-covered village of Perivolia, just south of Chania ;&nbsp; then unloaded the bikes, adjusted saddles and donned helmets.&nbsp; Fiona explained the mechanics of the e-bike system, with power levels of Eco\/Tour\/Sport\/Turbo, advising us that to preserve the battery power, keep to Tour, or when steeper, to Sport level.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a

George, imposed by the Four Great Powers, which paved the way for the eventualunion of Crete with Greece <em>(Enosis).<\/em>&nbsp; In 1910 he became Prime Minister of Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

and better-surfaced, through Fournes to Aghia.&nbsp; Turning right here, Fiona led us through the Chania suburbs of Miloniana and and Varipetro, and back into Perivolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour of c. 45km had taken us a little over 3.5 hours.&nbsp; Total ascent was 901m, with our highest point at 761m \/ 2,500 ft.&nbsp; Simon recorded a maximum speed of 54.5 kph descending the bends between Zourva and Meskla.&nbsp;&nbsp; Me \u2026.
