This bike roadtrip is not my thing after all\u201d, then turn around and ride back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it didn\u2019t happen! On the opposite, I enjoyed every bit of it (even the shitty rainy part from Moscow to Tver).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it\u2019s just the very beginning of the trip, just a test ride and proof of concept. Yes, I do love it and can\u2019t wait to continue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow I\u2019m heading to Estonia. First border crossing! Wish me luck! \ud83e\udd19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you all for the support and encouragement!
