This is an overview of a six week long cycling tour around Georgia and Armenia in August and September 2024. The tour includes riding partly on road but also on gravel tracks and some dirt trails. The tour included several nights in places of interest and not to do very long, hard rides each day. The tour includes the Lesser Caucasus, historic sites at Akhaltsikhe and Vardzia, Gyumri, Yerevan, Lake Sevan, Dilijan, the Debed Gorge, Stepanavan, Tbilisi, the Upper Cacuasus, Roshka and Shatili, as well as the former Roman provincial capital of Mtskheta. I flew into Kutaisi with Wizz Air from Vilnius, having just completed another cycling tour in Eastern Poland and Lithuania. I flew out from Tbilisi, where I had no problem finding a bike box from a shop in the Vake District. My bike for this trip was a custom built Sardinha Nordest, with titanium frame and carbon fibre fork. It had a 1x12 Shimano SLX grouset (34 tooth chainring) and I put on 2.6" Maxxis Forekaster tyres which I ran tubeless. Accommodation is cheap and plentiful in both countries.
