Over the Rikoti Pass 943 m

View Route Olympia - China on Lent's travel map.

Continuing from Kharagauli the paved road ended and we experienced how interesting hard days can be. Hard because of temporary rain but mostly because of the "road" that required an MTB rather than what we are using. Interesting because slow travelling opens eyes for details that easily remain unnoticed. Following the railway line towards one of two passes that connect East and West between the Black Sea and the Caspian Basin we saw what rural life in Georgia is really like, talked to people and took tons of photos of the steeper and steeper valley.
The railway line disappears in a tunnel shortly before the pass while the main highway pass nearby is appr. 50 m higher.
Nightstay on the sports field of the school in Gomi.

Onkohan kukaan suomalainen ennen sinua vaeltanut pyörän kanssa noissa maisemissa? Tuskin! Ainutlaatuisia kokemuksia, joita voi kuvan perusteella vain aavistella. Mahtaa kunto nousta!!

terveisiä täältä suomen keväästä. Kerrohan työmatkapyöräilijän iloksi miten tuollaiseen jatkuvaan sadan kilometrin päivämatkaan oikein tottuu. Onko polvet esim. kovilla? Miten paljon kuluu ruokaa päivässä liikkumiseen- vapaa arvio esim HK-n sinisinä lenkkimakkaroina?? Terv. Elja
