Quick ride by bicycle from Kokhma to Ivanovo

Cycling from Kokhma to Ivanovo

Get ready for a relaxed countryside spin as you roll from the small town of Kokhma to the vibrant regional hub of Ivanovo. This route covers about 16 kilometers and should make for a mellow ride, with only a gentle 70 meters of climbing—nothing too taxing!

You’ll start in Kokhma, famous for its textile industry roots, and head northwest, weaving through quiet roads that make up most of the journey. Be ready for a bit of variety under your tires—while about 30% of the ride is smooth asphalt, a good chunk runs over gravel and potentially missing or mixed surfaces. Expect calm stretches with few cars and a couple of short tracks or paths for an added bit of adventure.

Arriving in Ivanovo, you’ll enter a city nicknamed the “City of Brides,” once famed for its many women textile workers. Ivanovo itself is full of striking constructivist architecture and plenty of green spaces—perfect for a post-ride coffee. All in all, a laid-back, scenic pedal that combines rural charm with a dash of Russian history!
