Pervalka Holiday

Posted on June 6, 2010 by f32dream

This American Life and cycling, turned out be be a cool but good week.

Most notable point was a head on cycle collision with what turned out to possibly be a police woman. About twenty of them blocking the whole path came at me. I was hard over on the right trying to get out of there way. The first two or three rows moved to the right, but these two woman were talking away and just pulled directly into my path. I turned and started heading for the trees, but as I did our handlebars clipped, I was thrown off into the tree and she splatted herself across the pavement. Nether of us were that hurt, but my bike was pretty messed up, nothing I couldn’t fix though. After that I tried to get off the public cycle paths only to end up with signs like this.

After the crash

However we did have some nice long bike rides and saw a very peaceful pre-season side of Neringa.

Hey.

Just a wee note to tell you about our cycle holiday. To see our photos click here.

Day 1, 51 k's

We cycled from Klaipėda to Mingė, Ventė, Nida and back to Klaipėda. In short it was awesome. We had almost no rain and almost no sun for the entire trip. I enjoyed the most day one. There was a lot of variety, it started with the track beside the busy road, onto a mud bath, then onto a nice slow gravel road. Followed by nice quiet sealed road, before entering a gravel track through Kintai forest. After that we had nice roads before hitting nasty, sandy, corrugated gravel into Minge.

Day 2, Mingė - Ventė - Kintai - Ventė

Day two was a lot of fluffing around and little riding. The camping ground changed the ferry time on us by eight hours, causing us to do a 20 or so k trip back into Kintai for food.

Is that bird poo on my arm?

Day three was simple and consisted mostly of meeting other cyclists and catching the ferry to Nida.

The End (for now) 170 clicks.

Day four was the hardest and longest and took us from Nida to Klaipėda with a lunch stop in Pervalka.

I also enjoyed cycling during the first or rest week of our holiday. Which meant over an eleven day period during our break I cycled 337 km. 170 of those were our trip around the lagoon

This past weekend we cycled to Nida and back. In total it was a 123km trip for us. My bike was heavy laden with tent, sleeping bags, stove etc. I was also blessed recently with being able to spend some birthday money on cycling shorts. Oh gosh what a difference, all most no saddle sore. Praise God! Any way a couple of photos for you. To see more photos click here.My bike waiting for me to finish lunch.
