Georgia = Excellent
Hi Kurt,
A group of us have just returned from a lap of the Black Sea and spent four days in Georgia.
We entered from Turkey - Batumi - Akhaltsikhe - Tbilisi - Kazbegi and exited into Russia.
The road from Batumi to Akhaltsike contains about 50km of unsealed/off road which was doable on large adventure bikes. There is a castle overlooking Akhaltsike which underwent recent renovation and is well worth half a day. Tbilisi is under a lot of developement at the moment but the old parts of the town have a lot of charachter.
The Georgian Military Highway (prob 10-15km unsealed) was another highlight and the St. Sameba Church overlooking Stepantsminda is very much worth a visit, difficult track up to it (but doable) to reach by bike. Lots of people hike it and there are 4x4 taxis which will bring you up.
All in all we loved Georgia with friendly people, good food and local  !
Enjoy, Dave
