Mountain Bike Adventure in Khevsureti

When I was travelling in India in 2009, I often dreamt of going back to Georgia and mountain biking. I wanted to get involved in the local biking community and contribute. In Georgia, I was lucky to meet local mountain bikers.

I didn't expect to find them because I thought that the cycling wasn't very popular in Georgia and people seemed much keener on burning about in tinted windowed Mercedes and BMWs. How things have changed though! - at least for the burgeoning cycling and mountain biking community.

A Caucausus Mountain Bike adventure in Khevsureti

Tom, David and I went for a bike ride into the Caucasus mountains of Georgia. I'd been planning it for a while and I wanted to get some proper riding in before the snows descended. Tom arrived on the Sunday but leaving was delayed until Tuesday. To pass the time we decided to build up my new Kona Caldera frame, ate Khinkali (Georgian dumplings) and deejayed in Tbilisi at a cafe at the TV tower.
