It's been a windy day here in Athens with winds gusting to around 25knots making cycling interesting (depending on the winds direction!). Since it's Sunday and there's no commute to work, I decided to take a ride around my area which includes the "Piece and Friendship" stadium (see below) which will host some of the Special Olympic games this week. Along the path, I also cycled into the local marina where, unfortunately, I had a run-in with someone who forbid me to take pictures (the ones below) and pretty much threatened to confiscate my cellphone. He wasn't wearing a uniform, and when I started dialing the police to report the incident, he jumped into a tender and left the dock swearing and cursing! It seems that there's always someone out to ruin your cycle some days!
