3 Fortresses Mountain Bike Georgia
- Distance: 25km
- Fitness: 3/5
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Time: 5 hrs
The 3 fortresses ride covers the Tbilisi valley and heads up past the turtle lake on forest singletrack, climbing to 800m on stony singletrack with great views over the city, Tbilisi Sea and the Caucasus. After which we descend on a twisting narrow forest singletrack into the village of Tsavkesi.
From the village we head above the botanical gardens and pay a visit to the ‘Changing-Colour’ Monastery – ‘Peritsvaleba’ followed by a challenging rocky singletrack which descends into the old city and we visit the Metexi church- a unique place where Jews and Muslims pray together. The ride ends with a well-earned Georgian feast and relaxing dip in the natural Tbilisi hot sulphur baths.
