A new beginning!
Oh, what a relief; After two years' break from bicycle travel, soon I will be back in the saddle. This time around, the final destination will be Brussels, and the trip will start on July 1st. Along the way: Riga, Nida, Kaliningrad, Gdansk, Berlin, Cologne... The route selection is based purely on catching the tango events along the way. At the moment, the plan is to attend at least the following: Riga Tango Fiesta in Latvia, Nida Tango Retreat in Lithuania, then Berin High Noon Marathon, and as the cherry on the cake, the Marathon del Chocolate in Brussels. As always, I will put the bike on the train for the return trip, and even had the presence of mind to book and pay for the ferry ride from Germany to Helsinki. True, I have only been riding my bike for a week now, so am still far from being in shape. Somewhere at the back of my mind I do also remember all those days on the road when the strong headwind, incessant rain and careless truck drivers make my life ...
