Although no one really noticed, this blog post was several days later – a departure from our usual Sunday blog post publishing. We recently got tied up (More on this in the next blog post). During this partial segment, we deviated considerably from the EuroVelo 11 route which continued to follow mostly dirt roads. As we preferred to stay on hard surface roads, we ended up cycling on Latvian primary roads with a lot more traffic and no shoulder to talk about. We also crafted our own route towards Riga, the capital of Latvia. During many of our cycling days, our “conversation” on the road was mostly about Jenny shouting the type of vehicle coming behind us and her all clear signal “Ok”.<\/p>\n\n\n
