October the 18th, I enter in Latvia, the sun is going down and I camp at a fire place in Ainaži. There is some hoarfrost on the fields at the morning.
I go south along the sandy coastline, crossing pine tree forests. I follow the baltic sea european cycle road, but there no amenagement for cyclists have been done and the road is not so good… There is a big road with quite a lot of trucks, or some pathes more close to the sea. But those passes are quite hazardous, and more designed for mountain biking. Following them, I get to walk my bike on a rocky beach, and to cross sandy forests where my bike stop in the sand…
I arrive in Riga the 13 of October, there I am hosted by a nice young family that I meet through WarmShowers. I spend one and a half day in the city, visiting and giving a hand to local bikers association !
I am on the roud agein and go to the west to goin back the cost in Júrkalne, then I continu – south, along the sandy coastline – in the direction of Lithuania. On the way I visit the city of Liepāja, and I spend some time on wonderful sandy beaches, with nobody with the cold weather.
