Welcome to day 7 of the Hellenic Mountain Race. While the vast majority of our riders have reached Nafpaktos, we still have a handful of riders out on course battling the snail in hopes of making the finishers party on Saturday evening. In the small village of Kastania, there's a surprise oasis in the form of a restaurant run by locals Dimitra and George. It's been a haven for riders in their final stretch of the journey and we thought it would be the perfect place to post up for the day chat with riders.
