Overview
MKAD is an ironic name — the abbreviation matches Moscow's ring highway, but this is a massive off-road loop through the foothills above Almaty. You ride up through Kargalinka to the True Balcony, descend the other side on loose gravel toward Wolf Mountain (famous among local downhillers), and loop back through the Kaskabas area. It's fast, dusty, and physically demanding. The downhill sections are steep enough to test your brakes. A 10-hour loop that covers more ground than any other single-day route.
