Cycling day trip from Tajrīsh to Tehran

Hey there, biking enthusiast! Ready for a scenic ride from the bustling bazaar vibes of Tajrīsh to the vibrant heart of Tehran? This approximately 23 km journey is a great mix of busy urban life and the tranquil rhythm of a city waking up.

Start your ride in Tajrīsh, a district known for its vibrant bazaar and proximity to the magnificent Alborz mountains. It's a great spot to kick off with a little elevation (it is at 1611 meters), setting you up for a mostly downhill adventure—perfect for those of us who prefer coasting to climbing!

As you head towards Tehran, you'll transition from quiet roads laced with local charm to a few stretches of busier streets. Don't worry, though; the journey is mostly laid-back asphalt under your wheels, allowing you to focus on the views rather than dodging potholes.

With just over 96 meters of ascent and a more noticeable 531 meters of descent, you'll definitely feel the gradient working in your favor. As you glide into Tehran, the city waits with its sprawling parks, cultural delights, and maybe a well-deserved cup of Persian tea to cap off your ride. Enjoy the ride and soak up every pedal-powered moment! 🚴‍♂️💨
