Quick ride by bicycle from Zhukovsky to Ramenskoye

This cycling route takes you from Zhukovsky to Ramenskoye—two towns southeast of Moscow known for their aviation heritage. Starting in Zhukovsky, famous for hosting the MAKS Airshow and home to Russia’s top aviation research centers, you’ll glide through mostly quiet and access roads, making the ride fairly relaxed. The distance is about 11 km, ideal for a casual outing with just minor ups and downs—so you don’t have to worry about big hills!

Around half your ride is on smooth asphalt, but a good chunk of the surface data is unknown, so you might hit the occasional patch that's less than perfect (watch out for possible gravel or older pavement). As you approach Ramenskoye, you’ll notice it’s a more laid-back residential town with its own charming lakes and parks—a nice spot to chill after your ride. All in all, it’s a great way to spend an hour or two exploring one of Moscow’s "aviation corridors" by bike!
