Road Biking and the "Karpaz Road"

[moonskin]

G'day everyone,

My biggest hobby as a sport is road biking which I got into during my past 4 years of stay in southern Germany which is an extremely suitable region for this sport. They've got millions of little roads here, some secondary motor ways and some dedicated bike paths that one can bike easily and safely. I, for instance, biked around Freiburg to close cities in France (Mulhouse), Switzerland (Basel) and of course in Germany (Offenburg) only using these roads.

Since I'm moving back to Cyprus for a short period of time, I was thinking to take my bike with me but then it occurred to me that Cypriot drivers are not gonna enjoy this idea very much I was looking at the map of northern Cyprus and I noticed this road I once drove across. I think it is widely known as the "Karpaz road" and it starts somewhere slightly outside Kyrenia, from the beach known as the "Baris Plaji". I heard that they completely renovated that old road recently and I also hear that it is pretty silent road. I think it goes slightly pass Davlos. Has any of you ventured into that road? How's the situation of the road? Is the renovation work over? Is it really a quiet road?

Cheers.
