Cycle race over mountain roads

Show on map

25 kilometers of mountain roads separate Sevastopol from its suburb - Balaklava. Although the two resort towns with rich history are connected with busy flow of public transport, the fans of active recreation are offered an opportunity to overcome these 25 kilometers on bicycles.

The route of the cycle race is laid on the height of up to 200 meters through the mountains of the South-Western coast of Crimea with wonderful view over the upland, the Black Sea and the fortifications of the so called "Southern Outpost", which protected the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union since the 19th century. The cycle race from Sevastopol to Balaklava doesn't demand any professional training from the participants: just 20% of the road go uphill, 80% go downhill, at that, the descent in the Balaklava region - when everybody is tired already - is the longest. The cycle tour ends at the Balaklava seafront.

But that is not the end: the tour includes dinner with the view over the open sea and the post-tour sea excursion on cutter with an opportunity to swim in the open sea!
