The tour is intended for foreign cyclists and shows them what real Russia is from a bicycle saddle accompanied by Russian cyclists. It does not aim at racing but you will enjoy your biking in the quiet Russian countryside. The tour is very informal. You are not our customers - you are the guests of our club. In addition to cycling, there is a special culture program. We visit a lot of museums and exhibitions (some of them are little known). We have meetings with village dwellers and dinners to be cooked for you from home products grown by local Russians.  That's what you have hardly ever tasted.  We visit a Russian bath house ("banya") and see how Russians really live.

Route. The Golden Ring of Russia (the region northeast of Moscow) is the most famous tourist route in the heart of Russia. It goes through the old Russian towns: Vladimir, Suzdal, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Uglich and others known for their ancient history and architecture. We will see the beautiful Russian countryside and the Volga River, magnificent Orthodox churches and monasteries.  The bicycling part starts in Pereslavl (or Rostov) (north of Moscow) and ends in Vladimir 11 days later.
