Observing the East from the saddle of a bicycle

Hi there!

Either you've met me on my bikeride from Greece to Finland or you're some curious freak to find your way on this site, but welcome anyway!

My objectives for this trip are: 

• To have a closer look at the area to which my studies are related to, I mean, Eastern Europe and Russia.
• To improve my russian and to experience the local people, the culture and the lifestyles in the best possible way: bicycle touring.
• To gain back my fitness and just to enjoy the simple pleasures of bicycle touring and outdoor living eg. beer, being alone, cooking good food, drinking local beer, meeting new people, climbing mountains, camping wild, photographing and loafing around.. - Did I already mention beer?

I won't be updating this website during my ride, but afterward once I'm back in Finland in August I'll put up some photos and facts here for you to have a look at. The roughly planned route is on the right. It's about 3500km's.

If you want to drop me a message click here and write it down! And don't forget your email address!

Big wheels keep on turning,

Markus
