Cool Enduro Crimea Ride
Hello everybody
Lithuanian enduro team are planning 2 weeks trip to Eastern Europe.
We call it “Enduro Crimea Ride”.
We will start at 26th from Vilnius (Lithuania), travel via Poland to Ukraina Lvov, then via Carpathian mountains to Romania Sibiu, Brasov then to Moldova Chisinau, then again Ukraina Odessa and further around Crimea peninsula and back home to Lithuania. All trip is planned and managed on GPS.
Team: 5 bikes, solo riders.
Trip duration – 2 weeks (starting at 26/04 and finishing it at 11/05)
Distance – about 6000 km
Preferred road – we would like to choice gravel.
No hotels or motels – only wildlife or camping sites.
Main travel target is travel over mountain region near Sibiu (RO), and travel around Crimea peninsula.
Would be nice and funny meet enduro bikers in these regions during our trip.
Any help regarding sightseeing on our route would be very welcome.





Regards

Edas

If you're going to crimea you must take a ride on the sandbank that goes along the east coast of crimea. See the map on my link here:
Web browser and Live Maps are incompatible


It consists of 100km pure sand roads. No houses, no people. Just excellent driving along the the beach ( not on the beach, you go 10-100m to the side of it).

It starts in the north at Genichesk and ends in south at L'vovo.

No problem. it's nice to share "the good" parts. You will enjoy it. Take your time and take a bath when you're there also. You have 100km of very nice beach to yourself.

Also if you're interested... There's a ferry that leaves from Sevastopol to Istanbul. It's a quite small ferry ( more a freight ship) but very nice. Takes 24 hours. Quite mightful to enter Bosporus and have Europe on one side and Asia on the orher. I went with that one 2 years ago, soo nice. Then you have Enduro up through Bulgaria and South Romania.

It is a small ex-scientific ship Sevastopol-1
36 hours of sea-illness and you're in Konstantinopol. Cost is about 300Euro for man and a bike.
But prepare for 11 hour loading and 8 hour unloading for the ship.

here's the foto of loading:
