Georgia as we love it

Georgia as a country is at the interface between Europe and Asia. The former Soviet republic includes mountain villages in the Caucasus as well as beaches on the Black Sea. The inclined ENDURO driver will also find semi-deserts in the east and south of the country. In short: everything is there!

Batumi

Batumi is a vibrant city on the Black Sea, which offers a contrast to the simple living conditions in the mountains, especially in summer, with beaches, sun and parties. However, you can also expect “chaotic” traffic. Ideally, you should spend a few days here relaxing before or after the tour. Staff on site are available to provide tips.

Riding a motorcycle in Georgia

Georgia is the ideal country for ENDURO. There are no laws forcing you to stay on marked roads. So you can go where you want and what the machine and driver can handle. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind, especially if you are traveling to the country for the first time.

a) Georgian roads and Georgian traffic

Only 50% of the roads in Georgia are paved. However, Georgia is trying to improve the infrastructure. Construction sites are a familiar sight. These can also lead to delays and closures on mountain roads. Motorcyclists are still a rare breed in Georgia. In this respect, the Georgian car and truck driver has a natural sense of priority. In other words: it can be dangerous. Disregarding the right of way, passing at high speed with far too little distance, young speeders and old Georgians with their old Soviet built Lada - maximum speed 30 km/h - regularly alternate.

b) Animals on the road

Cows and pigs can appear anywhere; they are part of road traffic. So always plan for some reserve when hitting the next curve . Drive past the animals slowly and pay particular attention to the young animals. Meeting shepherds on the mountain road, such as the road to Omalo, then you may have to allow some time to pass.

c) A few more special tips

  • “Lane” and “stay in lane,” especially in city traffic, are overrated.
  • When cars turn on their hazard lights, they just want to stop. This happens especially in front of pedestrian crossings, and rarely when pedestrians are allowed to cross the street in the most impossible places.
