Hungary - Paprika, Dike Roads and Bumpy Trails

Image
Country #6 - Hungary Bumpy Trails Take Me Home September 26 to October 6, 2015 Cycling distance in Hungary: 488km's Total cycling distance: 1628km's Hungarian Border Crossing After sadly leaving the amazing Oksana, Jan and Andrei in Bratislava, we quickly reached the Hungarian border with tailwinds pushing us along the way. I swear the wind turns into the exact opposite direction each time we change travel direction ourselves. But today the wind gods were smiling on us and rewarding us with some very welcome winds at our backs. Of course because of this wretched Schengen Area Agreement we once more did not get a stamp in our passport. In fact there isn't really a border crossing in the "traditional" sense. Only an open gate and a sign with the Hungarian colours. All that changes is the Language. Hungarian Border Crossing   Immediately after crossing the border things change a little. It's more rural and you can tell that this is no

Blunders, Cops and the Roads Less Travelled

Day 80 to Day 83 Wednesday May 26 to Saturday May 29, 2010 Reserve, New Mexico, USA to Bluff, Utah Bluff to Moab, Utah Moab to Wellington, Utah Wellington to Burley, Utah It's been a long day and I had gone through Burley, Idaho looking for a motel for the night. It's hard to imagine that I was using my electric vest to try and keep warm. Suffice it to say, taking the road less travelled can be a bit demanding in spite of being much more rewarding than sticking to the Interstates to hang out with the semis and RV's. The driver in front of me was excruciatingly slow and I finally decided to go around her in the dual turn lane to my left. No sooner had I done it and I realized that the car coming the other way was a cop car. A quick check of my mirror and my suspicions that I wasn't about to be left alone were confirmed. Soothing red and blue lights gently followed me into the mall parking lot. "How are you doing?" said the very nice officer. "

Croatia - Short But Sweet

Country #7 - Croatia Peaceful Country Roads October 6 to October 8, 2015 Cycling distance in Croatia: 81km's Total cycling distance: 1709km's Croatian Border Well, there's not much to say about a country where we spent one night and a total of 1 1/2 days cycling. After we had moved 2 meters from the Hungarian Policewoman's booth to the next window we were processed by the equally friendly Croatian border agent and welcomed into the country. A scruffy looking "wanderer" in flip flops and with a ratty backpack was talking while taking a video of himself with a selfie stick. He was wandering from Greece to god only knows where. Good Signage in Croatia Here the route follows very well marked quiet country roads and the feeling was incredibly peaceful ...until swarms of little black flies hit us as we rode along. I could literally hear them clicking against my helmet but I just pushed on. After all, what else can you do? Patti had stopped
