This trip is designed for cyclists of average fitness, so no experience is needed, just a sense of adventure. You should feel comfortable riding back-to-back days covering an average of 65km a day. The terrain is undulating and the roads are quiet and you will often ride on tracks that enable you to experience village life.

The Goderdzi Pass (2034m) is the most challenging section of the trip and although it's a quiet road, there is a lot of climbing (1300m ascent)! However, there is always the option to hop in the vehicle support if needed.

You will be riding on approx 60% gravel roads and farm tracks and 40% tarmac road.

You will be using Trek 8.3 DS 2015 front suspension bike with hybrid tyres. These are light hardtail aluminium mountain bikes - perfect for riding on road and rough tracks. The bikes are equipped with a water bottle cage and standard flat pedals. If you would like to bring your own SPD pedals and saddle, these can be fitted for you.

Bikes are available in the following sizes:

• Small (for people 155cm - 165cm tall)
• Medium (for people 165cm - 175cm tall)
• Large (for people 175cm - 183cm tall)
• Extra Large (for people 183cm - 193cm tall)
• Extra Extra Large (for people 193cm - 203cm tall)

If you are outside of these ranges our local host suggests you bring your own bike and the cost of bike hire can be deducted from your trip after booking.

Sure can! Over 50% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Your host will provide you with clean safe drinking water from large containers. Bring a refillable bottle, it will be used well.

The average temperature during summer in Georgia ranges from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius in the lower valleys. Up on the plateaus and in the mountains it will be colder (down to 5 degrees at night) so you will need to pack accordingly. Rain at this time is rare although it could be windy.

As you will traverse the entire country, you will pass through several climatic regions, so be prepared for all seasons. By the time you reach the Black Sea, it will be hot and humid due to its year-round, moderate climate.

Extra luggage can be stored at the hotel in Tbilisi and collected at the end of the trip. There will also be a support vehicle on-hand to transfer your overnight luggage and meet you at stops if you need to grab an extra layer. The van also carries tools and spare bike parts that may be needed.

We would suggest bringing a small bag that can be attached to yourself or your handlebars for essentials like money, phone, suncream and a snack.

We recommend checking out the country specific information here and also talking to a travel nurse.

Tips are not included in the trip cost and are entirely at your discretion, however, there is usually a quick whip around at the end of the trip and most choose to leave approx. 200 GEL (£60) for the driver and the guide.

Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
