A group of bike tourists has reached Tuva. Moto-alpinists from Barnaul, Moscow and Zhukovsk headed by Viktor Pantykin are following one of the most complicated routes from Teletskoye Lake (Altai) to Mongun-Taiga (3906 m), overcome for the first time 20 years ago by Viktor Pantykin and his friends. This time mountain bikers are also inspecting the place more thouroughly as Tuva is to host All-Russian Championship in 2006.
