An epic trip to major sporting events throughout Europe & the USA

Day 12: Cycle the Baltics Tour Day 2

The day started with Mamfa going on a run around Rakvere to see the Castle and run through the forest.

Before starting the ride, we were lucky to see a stork and its three babies in a huge nest built on top of a chimney. Very impressive structure.

Before setting off on the ride we did a quick visit to Palmse Manor, a 13th century monastery. Nice gardens and some miniature horses doing cart rides for school kids.

We then started our exploration of the tranquil forests for Lahemaa National Park. Some nice riding through forest trails and quiet country roads. The day was an extra 14kms long for stupid Mamfa as he returned to get his water bottle he left behind. Total distance for the day 64kms, finishing at Sagadi Manor.

    Great pictures Trev. Looks like you and the devil are having a fine old time. I couldn’t see where Thorny Devil sits on the bike? But, loved the “ARC” kit. Continue to enjoy. Cheers Beth and Steve
