]]>As far as doing this ride on recumbent trikes goes, the more populated European roads might be more difficult as there are few shoulders. However, on average most drivers are courteous. Cycling across the gravel, I’ve found that some of this gravel is more difficult than what I encountered on the Dalton Highway or other US & Canadian roads. Somehow maintenance in US/Canada involves putting down some oil, whereas here it is more a mixture of crushed stones and then sand. This leaves a curious mixture of too hard (lots of hard bumps) with a topping of too soft (graded soft gravel). So while I haven’t ridden it, if I were to recommend a Russian road to try on trikes, I would investigate the “road of bones” from Magadan and then around south to Vladivostok, more than I would our route.
