Excursión ciclista de un día de Kotsiubynske a Sofiyivska Borschagivka

Set out from Kotsiubynske, a leafy suburb just northwest of Kyiv, well-known for its proximity to some lovely pine forests and a relaxed, residential vibe. You’ll wind your way south through quiet roads and some dedicated cycleways—perfect for taking your time and just enjoying the ride. The route is mostly on asphalt and paved surfaces, though don’t be surprised if there are a few patches where things feel a bit unfinished (welcome to the joys of Ukrainian cycling!).

With only gentle climbs (around 80 meters of ascent), this 24 km ride is accessible for most riders and keeps things interesting without being too demanding. Before you know it, you’ll roll into Sofiyivska Borschagivka, a fast-growing village on the edge of Kyiv’s urban sprawl. It has seen quite a boom in recent years with lots of new housing, shops, and cozy cafes. If you time it right, it’s a sweet spot to relax, refuel, and maybe plan your next ride. Happy cycling!
