Itinerary description

Longish ride from Patra to Chani Mpania and the other side of Evinos river (Douneika and Mazaraki villages). Then with some very minor roads (of poor to very poor condition) down to Evinos river again. At this point I was expecting a local bridge with dirt road over the river, but as I found out, there was not bridge! (later on I actually googled it and found news from November 2018 about birdge collapsing due to very high waters). Luckily for me, even though it's May! the river was fairly low and I actually could pass carrying my bike over my head and getting wet more or less until the waist.
Then return via Trikorfo village and Paliovouna climb to Antirio and Patra.
All in all, great ride, and the adventure of crossing the river actually added to the ride a lot! (of course, only if You can actually pass the river :-P).
I will mark it as gravel ride, due to about 1.5k on dirt roads, but also about 20k on a very bad asphalt! It is doable with road bike, but You need to be very careful and I am not sure You actually would enjoy the ride so much in such case.
