Tuyuk-Su is a 3.5-kilometer river of ice. Past the T1 weather station at 3,400m, there's nothing man-made left. The boulders get huge, the temperature drops below zero even in summer, and you ride to the edge of the blue ice itself. Glacial crevasses are nearby. This is not a place for mistakes. Solo rides are not allowed here, period. If you've done everything else and want to see the actual limit of where a bike can go in these mountains — this is it.
Helmet, balaclava, body armor with arm protection, knee pads (worn over your pants), jersey, and gloves.
Water, windbreaker jacket (depending on weather), thick pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.

"8 hours of riding and you end up standing next to actual glacier ice. You can hear it cracking. The moraine fields in the last section have boulders the size of cars. I've ridden bikes in six countries, this is unlike anything."
Роман Г."Exhausting. My whole body hurt the next day. The glacier is visibly smaller than photos from even five years ago. If you have the riding skills, don't wait."
