Went to Medumi. Didn't feel like riding the same road back, so I rolled along the dirt road. Made a description on Google Maps, the markers are filled out, hover your mouse over them and read if you really have absolutely nothing else to do. It's picturesque in Medumi. And it smells nice when you ride along the dirt road leading to Svente. I covered 61 kilometers in 4.5 hours. My speed, not counting the dawdling, was 22-25 km/h on asphalt (the hills are terrifying up to the border) and 15-20 on the dirt road (the washboarding – my respects). Next season I'll rebuild my bike for trails, meaning unpaved roads. I'll buy wide rims, tires, a fork, and if I have the money – a seatpost.
The route
We have some cool sheds around here.
Awesome spot for a house, waterfront, hell yeah.
Not fenced off, has footbridges, convenient for swimming.
And here someone is only just getting ready to build a house.
Lake Medumskoe.
The same one.
Rural landscape.
Lake Šķirsteņu. Judging by the dictionary, it means “Jewelry Box”.
The same one.
Akmens – means stone. I don't know what the suffix in this word means.
“Big Rocks”?
Guest house “Ezermala”, meaning “Lakeside”. There's a million places with this name.
15 lats per night, sauna is 15 lats per hour. That's a pretty expensive sauna.
Can't believe they weren't too lazy to mow this. If you take away the tree, you'll get ”Windows XP during drought season”.
The little speck in the center is a – kurepesa.
Looks cooler in real life, just like all photos.
