Plans
- Nebini will try to reach the hashpoint
- Hire a bicycle from somewhere and get there.
Expedition
Coordinates reached just after sunset.
Actual hashpoint was "only" 350m from the nearest cyclable road. The expedition took way longer than originally planned because the bike broke on the way to the hashpoint.
18:30
The expedition started by renting a bike from a bike rental. http://velovilnius.lt/ Price for one day was 40 Lt and the down payment for not returning the bike was 200€. The staring place was about 50 meters from Aušros Vartai.
19:00
Encountered a road accident. A too tall truck had knocked a steel bar out of place. Hopefully the bridge following the bar was not damaged. There was a long queue of cars. Biking conditions were quite good. The biking lanes were paved. At this point it looked that the trip would be over around 10pm.
19:30
Leaving Vilnius county. Almost no effort has to be exerted, a gentle downhill continued for many kilometers. It seems that cars on the road are not accustomed to bikes. Few cars passed way too close. On Eišiškių plentas road.
19:50
