I may not travel where I intend to go,
But I shall end up where I need to be. Walking, Biking, and rambling around the world.

Fun and informative travel bits from expeditions around the world.

I am a large fan of baby food and pouched fruits on a ride. This one is a great example of a good idea, but bad ex*****on.

Can confirm, it wasn’t Rudolph. Coulda been one of the other eight on a training ride.

Lapland’s pretty cool!

There’s advertising, and than there’s Finnish Yogurt companies!

Also, if anyone wants yogurt, I happen to have a bunch now.

Finland has a wide network of skiing shelters. They are fair game to sleep in, and with a fire pit inside have made for extremely cozy sleeping!

Zoom in and check out this art. It’s painted in a command center in an abandoned Soviet Nuclear missile site.

You’ll see those graphics had three lights above for three different styles of attack. From left to right- air attack, radiation cloud, and atomic. The art is there but the lights are missing.

A light would go off above the corresponding graphic, then the soldiers would know what response to make at the base.

Who better to celebrate the Fourth of July than with Vladimir Lenin?

The Soviets had fear that the Latvians living in coastal fishing villages would escape to Sweden. Because of this, the Soviets limited the number of boats a village could have, and created boat cemeteries of the rest.

The Soviet military town of Irbene was kept secret until 1993. The town supported a telescope which spied on transmissions from the West.

It was completely abandoned and there are many apartment blocs that I spent a great afternoon exploring. It was a wonderfully eerie experience.

In a small town near to the Russian border when two incredible people came up to us and started to give recommendations about where to go.

They even left, and drove around town to find us again later to bring us brownie macaroons!

It wouldn’t be a ride with jack.guerin without a day spent riding in the rain!

Always easier to do with someone else.

jack.guerin and I found showers! I was so excited, I started mine before learning there was no soap.

Thankfully Jack had both soap and a plan
