Itinerary description
The GPS Tracking was stopped in the midway due to low battery. The trip was continued to Chalus, arriving there at about 18:30, then we turned toward Nowshahr for night lodging (in a leased suite at N 36.646970 E51.512900), arriving at about 19:30, after riding about 178km.
Next Morning, after having breakfast, we moved to a sandbank to have fun and taking memorial photographs. We had lunch there at about 13:00. Then we moved to Nowshahr passengers terminal to get back home, Karaj. We loaded our bikes in the bus trunk and moved at 14:00.
Just when we thought that the trip was over, the bus was corrupted, firstly at N 36.21036 E 51.32916!! All passengers of the bus were transferred to other buses but us!! :D we three stayed there with the bus drivers to help them. After all, by moving and stopping repeatedly in several points of the road, a 4 hour trip took about 7 hours! Finally we got to the entrance of Karaj city at about 9 pm, download and assembled our bikes and went home. The whole trip included 200km of ridig.

Many thanks for sharing this... I am planning a trip through Iran in 2016, and this kind of shares is much more helpful than Google Maps.
Thank you Alexandre
I'll be glad if I can help you in any part of your trip
You can contact me for furthur details if you want to
It must have been breathtaking that path at 2700m high... congratulations
The way down must have been good fun ! https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160407
Of course it was!! With speed of about 65km/h !! :)
But in the photo above, we could barely get more than 30km/h just because of crosswind. https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160407
Big respect, 200Km on mountains bikes... you guys are Iran's Lance Armstrong (I am not refering to his drug use here, he was a real athlete with amazing physical capabilities despite these :))) ) https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160401
hahaha
Of course I'm not! :D I'm an amateur rider...
But I think what made me capable for such trip is that I don't consider any limit for my abilities ;) https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160401
Last summer I was plannig for a 500km trip from Karaj to Isfahan, but it got too late due to some problems such as low experience, exact plan and suply, and also lack of a partner, and the weather got cold, so I couldn't acomplish it.
I think we can plan to perform it together, if you want. https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160401
Cold during the summer? What do you mean? How cold? That would be great to ride together! https://www.wikiloc.com/mountain-biking-trails/trip-to-north-of-iran-7320546/photo-4160401
Great
