Itinerary description
This is a full loop road trip.
You can start this road anywhere around Beirut. I just happened to be in the Kfarchima area when I started it.
For some reason Wikiloc did not record anything the first hour of riding. I uploaded the track from another application I was using but unfortunately the photos are not geographically tagged.
There was only one section in Ghine, about 100 meters long, where I had to carry the bike. If you have stronger legs or lower gears on your bike it should be doable.
Also note that there was a section, about 700 meters in length in Aramoun, that was more fit for a mountain bike. It was all dirt and rocks with only small, short and narrow strips of asphalt scatted along that section.
Other than that it was a beautiful ride with amazing sceneries of the bay of Jounieh and the Keserwan area. The ride goes through Harrissa, Ghosta, Chahtoul (village of Lebanese writer May Ziadeh), Ghiné, Adma and other small villages.
What made this ride even more pleasant was the lack of many cars of the roads due to a Coronavirus lockdown.
Note for myself. Data from other app:
Avg speed: 11.1 miles/h (17.8 km/h)
Max speed: 43.3 miles/hour
Moving time: 5:06
Elapsed time: 5:47
Distance: 56.42 miles (95.9 km)
Elevation gain: 5265 feet (1605m)
