Global Fat Bike Day Winter Circuit: northern route

Route at a glance

Settlements, woodland and open roads follow one another without long monotonous stretches. Along the way, country roads, wooded sections and small settlements are revealed one section at a time. Particular attention should be given to Tsnyanka, Vyacha and Gfbd22 maryaliva. These are the places that give the route its recognisable character.

What to expect

Difficult sections and safety

After rain, unpaved sections can become soft, slippery, and considerably slower. Take particular care around ruts, sand, and wet roots; carry a repair kit and do not overestimate grip in corners.

How much time to allow

Allow at least 2 days, but no verified stage plan is available. Plan daily distance, overnight stops, water, supplies and exit options independently.
