Crimea Bike Camp
About camp
We are crazy about riding mountain bike. After more than 10 years' experience this has helped us to organize «Crimea Bike Camp». We offer you today the chance to become a participant!

First of all, the camp is designed for those who have started riding recently with no mountain experience. We will be riding in different parts of Crimea. Our guides will assist in choosing the trails difficulty level according to participants riding skills and ability. It is easier to learn riding in a group and riders skills and ability will improve significantly by the end of the course.
For mountain bikers who have some experience we can offer a riding program with our friends amongst whom are some famous riders. They will gladly share their experience and give you some advise on riding technique while being you guides. As the saying goes: if you want to ride better — ride with the best.

The week course program includes accommodation in a bike-guesthouse, catering (three meals a day), transfer from the airport to the hotel and back to the airport as well as the daily transfers up to the mountain and the guide service. All you need is to buy a course and anairplane ticket. You will spend an unforgettable week with us, riding various mountain trails of Crimea in a great company.
Riding zone
The main riding zone is the Ai-Petri Mountain. Here are many trails of different difficulty levels. This is where we will spend the most of the time. We try to increase difficulty step by step, starting from the easier trails to more difficult ones. The riding is going to be downhill, without pedaling in enduro style. Not all the trails can be reached by car so we will have to walk to a starting point sometimes.

Getting up to the mountain
Daily our own comfortable minibus will carry the group up to the mount. The bus will be with the group during the entire day. It takes about 40-50 minutes to get up to the peak. Onboard our «liner» you can use free Wi-Fi, listen to some music and we will try to provide all the charger types for your devices. Our specially designed bike-trailer with the quick load/unload system will provide safe transportation of your bikes. Normally group would make 3-5 rounds a day, it depends on group riding level and the distance to the trail.
Accommodation
We have rented homely apartments especially for the camp participants in a famous bike-hotel. Three rooms with 3+2+2 people placement with access to the balcony and great view of the sea. Shared toilet and shower are combined on the floor. There is a kitchen with a stove, fridge and all the kitchenware needed. Riders can spend some time together watching videos, discussing the day activities and plans for tomorrow in a cozy living area. There are bike wash facilities, a fully equipped garage for safe bike storage and a bike-repair zone.
Food
Good nutrition is a guarantee of a productive day. Our camp provides three meals a day: ahearty breakfast, a snack with a sandwich and a soft drink on the slope during a day time and a dinner, consisting of starter, soup and a main course. We traditionally alternate European and Crimean-Tatar cuisine. Once during the course, usually Thursday or Friday we have a barbeque or pilaf in a special cauldron, called «kazan». We will not let you starve.
