Usually i cycle with about 15kg load. Not much, eh? 
There are not many stoney roads there, speak in general only a part of old post road is stoney, and 2 small ascend-descends (don't know how to say this in english) near town are stoney too.
The small path from Nanikovo straight to the top of Koklyuk is very steep (you must push bike up), the road to the Pilot school is not so (i can ride all way up on the bike). On the old post road i ride all way in both directions (mostly).
Road to monastery is boring (for me) but not very difficult.
It's hard to get to the top of Agharmysh mountain on bike straight from the town (there are beaten paths and you for sure can push your bike up there if you want to), the top of the mountain is almost flat and there is a dirt road there (foresters time to time drive this road, but i don't know where this dirt-road leads).
All other ascends are long and sometime boring, but not very steep.
I don't like to travel by the road where cars drive. Cars pollute environment. So if it's possible i'll ride a dirt road instead of highway. Still not all routes can be done in that way.
Is it a shame that i sometime push my bike instead of ride on him?
