Zaluzhye

One of the most spectacular Gravelcyclist races. Expect the lovely banks of the Tarusa, kilometres of sweeping views over the right bank of the Protva, dirt roads through the forests and fields of the Central Russian Upland, and the ancient village of Obolenskoye. There is also an easy ford across the Tarusa. The dirt sections Zaluzhye–Roshcha and Seliverstovo–Lyubovtsovo require good bike handling.
