Route description

Leaving Yakutskiye Gory through the Yakuty side towards Lipki, this cycling loop then turns west. Near Dubovaya, the country road passes beside the named hill; the Perkul, Tiskovshchina and Gurnovshchina form a succession of small rural places. Beyond the Sula, the direction changes and the road leads to Rochevichi. Our Lady of Czestochowa Church stands beside Tsentralnaya Street, a reason to pause away from a sporting rhythm. Rochevichi is followed by Kunashi, the Naborovshchina side and Virlovichi. This is the western course of the Kaspersky Race 2021 cycling half-marathon, with village passages and a return through Zolotari and Volmechka. The Volma then crosses the return direction: establish a permissible way across the small river beforehand. Farther south, the journey turns towards Lipki, the Usa and Sadovshchina, before the closing approach from the Putchino side. The loop has a rural scale, with a church, a hill and small river valleys between village roads. It suits prepared cyclists interested in varying their pace and noticing places along the way. Agree the beginning and finish at Yakutskiye Gory with its operator, and prepare the independent ride by checking the country connection before Lipki and the river passage.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car - Hard With children - No With a dog - No data By bike - Partially With a stroller - No Mobile signal - No data The complete independent version is for adult cyclists experienced on unpaved roads and with energy in reserve. Former family participation in an organised event does not establish present suitability for children. Difficult places may require dismounting, and continuous permissible passage needs prior checks. The complete route is unsuitable for a stroller. Dog arrangements and continuous mobile reception are unverified. Without a car, arrange bicycle delivery and return from a possible early finish beforehand.

Nearby

The old service-building ruins on the Virlovichi side stand outside this loop’s immediate passage: a visit requires a separate approach and clarification of access beside the old walls. The chapel on the Naborovshchina side is likewise not a guaranteed open stop. A separate summit visit to Dubovaya is not included. Ivenets, Dushkovo and Ratyntsy are outside this ride. Yakutskiye Gory operates by prior request in the warmer season. Its sauna and pool are provided within organised events. Food, marking, camping, transfers and support from the 2021 festival are not ordinary independent-route services. Check the venue’s private arrangements separately from permissible use of the remaining country roads.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
The named Lipki and Volmechka stops provide references for checking transport from either side. Suitable current services, bicycle carriage and an agreed arrival at the beginning are unconfirmed. Check both directions and a reserve departure if part of the ride must be omitted. The Kaspersky Race 2021 organised transfer belonged to the festival dates and is not permanent transport.
By car
The starting reference is Yakutskiye Gory near Yakuty in the Dzerzhinsk district. Its operator admits visitors by prior request in spring, summer and autumn; the venue is closed in winter. Agree the day, the meeting with bicycles and return arrangements. Do not plan the complete version with this beginning without permission to use the starting venue. Prepare support-vehicle meetings near villages separately in permissible places clear of exits and the carriageway.
Parking
Parking is unconfirmed. Spaces for Yakutskiye Gory event guests do not automatically permit an independent cyclist to leave a vehicle there. Check whether the area may be used on the intended day for the entire required period and how to return after an early finish. Without an agreed place, another permitted option is required. Stops beside the church, private yards and village road exits are not ready parking arrangements.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainДанные по набору высоты уточняются.
SurfaceAsphalt 28%, Compacted dirt 20%, Dirt 12%, Unknown 35%.
Риски Village asphalt alternates with compacted and earth roads and occasional paths; one fast pace is unsuitable throughout. An old field connection on the return towards Lipki has no confirmed current continuous passage. Establish a permissible way through before leaving. If this cannot be confirmed, omit that section or finish earlier without cutting across crops or private yards. The Volma crosses the return without a confirmed guaranteed dry bridge. Establish water conditions and a permissible crossing method before departure; return to a verified road if conditions are unsuitable. Check small culverts beside the Perkul, Sula and two Usa passages separately after rain. Stop clear of traffic in Rochevichi, and follow the parish’s current arrangements for any church entry.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 4 h 29 min

Prepare a one-day outing for this separate loop; its exact touring duration is unverified. Useful preparation groups are the approach to Lipki and Dubovaya; the western road through the Sula and Rochevichi; Kunashi–Virlovichi–Volmechka; and the return towards Sadovshchina and Putchino. These are planning references, not a timetable or promised food stops. Reserve time for dismounting, checking passages and finishing early before darkness.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Dry weather in the warmer season is preferable. Check unpaved connections and small culverts after thaw and prolonged rain, and assess the Volma passage separately. Carry your own water in heat; in autumn, start earlier and retain spare daylight. The operator closes the starting venue in winter, and winter passage around the rest of the loop is unconfirmed.
