Bike tour in Armenia

Two days bike trip to Dilijan, by visiting Jukhtak Vank (11th-12th c.), Matosavank (13th c.), Parz Lake, Haghardzin and Goshavank monasteries (13th c.).
The Dilijan - Ijevan section is on new highway, making it a very easy ride along the river. Sites to visit along the way: Jukhtak Vank and Matosavank, on the fringes of Dilijan will probably require short hikes. 
Parz Lake (clear lake) involves a steep narrow road up a hill to reach the small lake. 
Haghartsin, one of Armenia's most visited monasteries is a steep ride through the forest. 
Goshavank, is an easy detour relative to the last two, with a more gradual grade, with the monastery at the end of the road in the village of Gosh.
