The second phase of the Caucasus ascension was much harder and steeper than the first one. After a morning swim and some time spent enjoying the camping area, we got back on the road and rapidly gained altitude. A group of italian cyclists told us it would be really hard for us, loaded as we are, to get to the top of the mountain, which was about 2000 meters high, main problem being the state of the 'road', a mix of rocks and sand after the city of Khulo.
thanks for sharing
