Forest roads, small climbs and the hamlet of Manovi Kolibi give this ride an unhurried shape. The catch is a damaged bridge: check its condition before committing to the loop. **Ride:** turn right uphill at **0.4 km**, then leave the asphalt left at about **2.2 km**, following the red-marked Semkovo road. The troublesome bridge is near **4.4 km**. Beyond the crossing, leave the red marks at **6.4 km**, turning left beside a hut. At **6.8 km**, continue straight and then left onto the forest-road circuit towards **Manovi Kolibi**. Join the asphalt at **12.9 km** and climb back, turning right into the resort near **14.5 km**. The bridge has been rotten and collapsed; an upstream crossing is not a dependable alternative in high water. Turn back if you cannot cross safely. There is a fountain at Manovi Kolibi, and the final paved climb is steeper than tired legs may appreciate. ## Before you set off Check weather and access, carry the map offline and leave your route and expected return with someone at Coliving.
