Quick ride by bicycle from Shirokaya Rechka to Yekaterinburg

Here’s a chill ride for you from Shirokaya Rechka to Yekaterinburg! This 20 km route is great if you’re looking to mix a bit of nature with city vibes. You’ll start in the peaceful outskirts of Shirokaya Rechka—an area known for its wide river (the name literally means “Wide River”) and easygoing atmosphere.

The ride rolls mostly over smooth surfaces, with about 70% paved and a decent chunk being asphalt, though there might be a few short patches where the surface isn’t marked—so keep those eyes peeled. Most of your journey is on quiet or access roads, with just a sprinkle of busier streets near the city.

The ascent isn’t too tough, so it should feel pretty breezy once you settle into your cadence. Once you roll into Yekaterinburg, you’ll find yourself in one of Russia’s major cities, full of culture, history, and exciting food spots to fuel up after your ride.

This is a solid half-day adventure—bring some snacks, enjoy the views, and happy pedaling!
