Палех, crossing little cities is tough

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 22, 2007 by mevMay 31, 2007

A surprisingly difficult day as we crossed two smaller Russian cities. The awkward part is directions that are not well marked. It isn’t as tough to get into town as it is to get back out again. Some mosquitoes in … Continue reading →

Another nice cycling day as we crossed Ярославль and headed into the countryside. Our cycling days are definitely a bit warmer. This morning we headed back 1km to the main road and then on steadily busier roads into Ярославль. We … Continue reading →

A nice solid ride today with good roads and two somewhat different halves separated by Рыбинск in the middle. Last night we had some thunder showers with lightning. Fortunately, they stopped by morning and it was just overcast. The roads … Continue reading →

Nice day riding along a reasonable road along the lake without too much traffic. We packed up early from our hotel and got ready for the road again. One part of Mickey’s rear rack was broken, but fortunately easy to … Continue reading →

Череповец, rest day

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 18, 2007 by mevMay 30, 2007

Nice easy rest day today. Found an internet place (they laughed when I called it a cafй) and updated the web site as well as checked up on messages. The city is not large, so also got a chance to … Continue reading →

Череповец, industrial town

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 17, 2007 by mevMay 30, 2007

Short note, more to come later. We’ve reached this larger town on lake that feeds into the Volga River (look on the road between St Petersburg & Vologda). Having fun cycling, though roads are quite variable. Plan to rest here … Continue reading →

Today a ride into the big city and first night in a hotel. The roads were becoming busier as we came closer to the big city. Initially it was flat riding through the woods with just a few villages marked … Continue reading →

Чаево, waiting out some rain and working through minor troubles

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 16, 2007 by mevMay 30, 2007

It rained. Last night a little and rained more this afternoon. The tent works fine, though would be claustrophobic for a long time. I’ve been getting up earlier each day, and so was up first on the road. This road … Continue reading →

Покровское, so long Leningradskaya oblast

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 15, 2007 by mevMay 30, 2007

So long Leningradskaya oblast, we will miss you along with your mostly smooth roads. Today at 56km we crossed over into Volgodaya oblast. It was fortunately warmer waking up. We continued a pattern I’m sure will repeat with me leaving … Continue reading →

Новли, cold night and bumps begin

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on May 14, 2007 by mevMay 30, 2007

Today was a surprisingly tough day, and I’m now a little worried about my back wheel. We had some rough roads and I’m seeing a few stress lines (in the wheel not me) and the wheel is slightly out of … Continue reading →
