I rode with the Ride Studio Cafe crew this morning – for the first time. Not sure I’m going to do that again because my GPS tracking unit told me we took a very circuitous route. Actually, it was my fault; somehow I took a wrong turn and ended up in southwestern Russia – near the Trans-Siberian railway. Fortunately, my orienteering skills got me back to the group ride before they returned to the Studio.
The 5,000 mile Pacific water crossing was a bit of a drag; I would have taken the Bering Strait but I heard it’s under construction. Here’s the actual route I took – as shown by Garmin.
Not much going on in that area of Russia – at least when I visited yesterday. Was going to drop by Birobidzhan but I knew I needed to average 143.5 mph in order to meet up with the ride before they got back to the Studio, so I skipped the vodka and intercepted the group at Col de Lex. I’ll explore more of Russia on the next ride.
