    Bicycle tour Golden Ring of Russia

    Seriously thinking about doing the 'comfort' bike tour in August.

    Gets quite expensive - about 2.5K + flights.

    Worth it? Is the 'Golden Ring' (no smut please) worth seeing?

    I am not sure I can do as much as 400 miles in 12 days on a diet of cabbage soup.

      I think you get a few fatty knuckles floating in it.

          I think dogging is still illegal over there

            Is it true that AtW left to avoid a dogging offence going to court but it will be resurrected if he ever returns?

              we plan on crossing at Brest-Litovsk, and heading for Minsk

              if we dont like it, we will turn around and make a run for the border

              I wonder if K2P2 has a fall back / escape plan

                  If you want a cycle K2p2 I'm back on Saturday. Going to
                  try and cycle home from Bath in the morning and see how
                  far I can get on the canal before jumping on a train. Reckon 40-45 is my limit tomorrow.

                    All my info is out of date or irrelevant - I haven't worked there for a few years and was only ever in Moscow.

                    Keep $50 dollars in your passport in Moscow for any police "document checks". It's probably cheaper outside the city. If you're in a group it probably won't be an issue (guide will handle any bribes).
