about the road:

The itinerary we picked is going to give you a terrific mix of dynamic riding on winding paved road and a selection of the most incredible unpaved sections of the Caucasus.  There is no hard-core off-road bonanza, but there are some longer gravel sections on this trip. Our objective is to make the most of the landscapes and highlights of the country – and enjoy ourselves doing it.  We’ll take all the time we need to safely reach our daily destination.  If challenges were to arise, due to weather or road condition, we’ll overcome them as a team.

4 to 7 riding hours per day except one longer day – mostly on paved winding roads.

ABOUT THE ROAD:

On gravel sections (about 60% of the total distance) the route can be demanding. These are mostly new tracks, leading through the hitherto inaccessible passes. They can often be flooded by the streams. There will also be a lot of hairpines. The asphalt sections, in turn, will require a lot of attention due to traffic. High altitude can affect the concentration and handling ability of motorcycles.
