Trans Europa Days 1-14 The Road to Vilnius

Although I just arrived in Vilnius, I would like to keep the blog of this Tour D'Afrique bike trip consistent with my last one. So here's what you missed so far .....

Bike the Baltic

St Petersburg to Vilnius
Sunday July 8, 2012 - Saturday July 21, 2012

 Bike the Baltic

Start: July 8, St Petersburg, Russia
Finish: July 21, Vilnius, Lithuania
Distance: 1,275km
Riding Days: 12 days
Resting Days: 2 days



This section begins in the 'Venice of the North', St Petersburg. Riders will cycle along the gorgeous Baltic coast of Estonia before arriving in the capital of Tallinn, with its amazing 14th century Old Town architecture. From there the tour pedals south towards Latvia, enjoying a second rest day in Riga, the ‘Paris of the North’. After a day enjoying its cosmopolitan atmosphere, riders will head across the less travelled central portion of Lithuania, ending their journey in Vilnius, with its Baroque Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.


You also missed a lot of rain...

And here's why you missed it:
