Cycling day trip from Smyshlyayevka to Samara

Gear up for a pleasant ride from the quiet village of Smyshlyayevka to the lively city of Samara! This 26 km route is super friendly for cyclists who enjoy peaceful surroundings, with most of your journey rolling along quiet roads and access lanes—meaning low traffic and a relaxed atmosphere.

You'll start in Smyshlyayevka, a small town east of Samara known for its laid-back pace and ties to Samara’s aviation heritage. As you pedal westward, the terrain gives you a gentle workout—expect a moderate ascent (about 140 meters in total)—but nothing too taxing for the average cyclist.

Surface-wise, you’ll mostly be on asphalt and paved roads, though a good portion is unclassified, so keep an eye out for rough patches or gravel. The last stretch sweeps you into Samara, a bustling Volga River city famous for its parks, beautiful river embankment, and rich history in aerospace and brewing.

All in all, it’s a scenic suburban ride that lands you right in the heart of one of the Volga’s greatest cities. Enjoy the breeze and the changing scenery!
