Hello,
Would anyone like to join 12-day cycling trip around Carpathians
(western Ukraine) in July, 2008 with Dnepropetrovsk cycling society
("Dneproveloklub"). I have travelled with them 2 times around Crimea
peninsula in 2005 (http://kabalin.110mb.com/ru/travel/index.php).
Trips are guided by experienced and reliable instructor, Dmitry
Pevtsov. Ideal for beginners with little experience in touring. It is not a packed tour, it is rather a team trip with outdoors camping at tents and cooking food on fire. There is some peculiarity because these trips should meet national (Ukrainian) requirements of sport cycling trips - all the details are explained on their website:
http://dneproveloklub.dp.ua/cycling_rally.htm
Similar trip in Carpathians (like one which is planned this year but shorter) has already been made last year - to have an idea about the area and
sights see report:
http://dneproveloklub.dp.ua/otshety/...dol-2-0707.htm
There is a small fee that covers organisational expenses, registering the trip with Ukrainian Route Qualification Commission and so on. Meeting of the group is scheduled on 17th of July in Ternopol. Apart of the bike and sufficiently roomy cycling bags, you will probably need bike cover (compulsory to transport your bike on the national railway) and obviously sleeping bag and a tent.
