GoZa Mite

This day I started very early because weather forecast promised some rain. I was already 06.30 on the southside of Pärnu doing some hard tracks of the TET!

I had to make one major U-turn while trying to find the way out of this area. Such a perfect place to spend a day but I was more about getting forward… wanted to see some other places too!

I finally made it to the beach and I was riding south on The Old Pärnu road. I stopped to check the Baltic Sea from the Viewing Tower on Kabli Beach.
Right after I was in Latvia I chose the road that goes straight to the east. And after Korģene village I was riding quite a long time on the paved road to reach the town of Limbaži where I had my first longer break. I tasted some Latvian rhubarb pie (Yammy!) I was also checkin the map more carefully and it looked like there was a nice small road going out of town exactly to the correct direction… And that was a rough one!! Many kilometers riding on the soft and muddy road was a real challenge! This picture I took right after I managed to ride through…

Soon after this I was in a small village of Straupe where they have a very nice castle! (Originally built in 1263)

Soon after this I reached the TET Latvia the first time and I followed it to the “Līgatnes pārceltuve pār Gauju” (The manual ferry over the Gauja river). This is one of the places from my Bucketlist and now I’ve done it!

This second photo is from “centrum of the Ligatnes village” which seemed like a very nice area for hiking, bicycling and spending some chillout time!
My route for the day was like this:

And of course I made a video of this extremely nice day:
