I woke to the sound of light rain on the tent. When I looked out it was light snow that melted when landed. Went back to sleep. Noon start had me fully bundled as the temp was just at freezing 32F. Riding around a lake on a forested road I looked forward to the climbs to bring me warmth. Then there was the long drop into the valley with a cascading river near by. I stop again and again to try to bring feeling to my feet. Warm did not come quickly in the valley. I need to ride many miles up the valley before I could feel the body warming. I stopped early hoping to get to Gol with time to update the blog before needing to ride onward to find a camp.

I would like to do your trips except stay in hotels and eat in restaurants.
Impressed. What's happened since April? Are you in the Baltic Republics, now?
Where the heck are you? No entries for some time.
