Mountain biking is becoming more popular in Sakartvelo (Georgia). There is even a small dirt park pump track at Hippodrome but the most popular area for mountain biking is at Turtle Lake. From Vake Park you can take the Gondola up to Turtle Lake and go on a decently build downhill track. The whole area is full of little trails and is also very popular for hiking. It’s easy to just go there and explore on your own but here a few tacks.
