28.08.2019 - SaddleSore 1600k in RUSSLAND

[Gerhard]

Nee nee ,

die 1.733 km sind Moskau - Millerowo - Moskau und wird von Dmitry empfohlen.

Er meint um Kasan und vor allem um Petersburg sei zu viel Verkehr..

Gerd, die Strecke, die Du vorschlägst ist ein hoher Anteil von einspurigen Strassen..

Ich will es nur zu Bedenken geben, bin aber für alles zu haben..



No no,

the 1,733 km are Moscow - Millerowo - Moscow and recommended by Dmitry.

He says that there is too much traffic around Kazan and especially around Petersburg.

Gerd, the regarding the route you propose .. there is a high proportion of single-lane roads.

Only my thoughts, but I'm good for anything ..

 

[Gerd Heinzmann]

Ah, wenn das hin und zurück ist, siehts natürlich anders aus. Einverstanden

Ah, if that's back and forth, it looks different, of course. Agreed.

 

[Django]

Moskau - Millerowo - Moskau ist eine Hin-Zurück-Strecke, d.h. du bist dann wieder in Moskau.


Ups, war zu langsam.

 

[Gerd Heinzmann]

500 Meter vor der Ausfahrt Millerowo und 500 Meter nach der Auffahrt gibt es eine Autobahn-Tankstelle, die rund um die Uhr geöffnet hat.


Also es hat in beiden Fahrtrichtungen je eine ;-)

There is a gas station pretty close to the Exit Millerowo.

Dmitry is correct. Kazan is full of tourists all the time and Spb...well, is Spb. There is modern motorway circling Spb but it's hit and miss will there be jams or not. And opposite to many other countries, in Russia there can be lots traffic all through the night as well. Not to mention that generally russian drivers have got their licenses from lottery, not driving schools. So with bike, have to be doubletime careful. Another advice, get international driving license copy, IDP. in a case you get problem with russian police, give them that one not your local one (which you have forgot some hotel etc).

Hi Jungs,
wie bereits befürchtet muss ich absagen.
Ich bitte daher einen anderen Teilnehmer die Moderation zwecks Termine, Hotel und Strecke zu übernehmen.
Ich wünsche allen viel Spaß.

Hi guys,
sorry, but I have to cancel.
I therefore ask another participant to take over the moderation for dates, hotel and route.
I wish you all a lot of fun.

Hi Gerd,

Afraid Jon Cunniffe (Jon12A) and I are no longer going to Russia, we decided it was too much considering the 12Stunden and ERTE...I think this is a good decision especially after watching what Robert and John cope with a 12.5 hr Border crossing this weekend.

Perfect.. my visum arrived 2 weeks ago.

So .. all visums and hotels are managed and booked, "we five" are all ready to go, right ?

We just have to agree on a SS1600K - route.

I dont really vare what we ride Mosc-Kazan Mosc or the other version I am a democrate so whereever the majority wants to go I'll go!!

 

[Mr Frank]

My visa is as well scheduled to arrive 15th of August latest. That counts as "ready to go"

Like Giel I'm not fixed on a specific route, direction or city to drive to. But Dimitri as a local knows the area quite well, so his proposal should be a good option....
