Welcome on board.

Today I will guide you trough virtual journey in South-Estonia in it's fall colours...


We'll start from an old church spot where is the last outpost of tarmac-dominance in Estonia.

From here, we will enter into the world of gravelroad-excellence. Through medium curvy and not that potholed roads we're heading on the direction of Karula National Park.

Then we encounter some strange river corssings and bridges.

And a interesting pine tree that cuts the setting Suns light.

We'll take a slight tea-pause here. It's a quite cold day indeed.

But riding on one of the finest gravel roads on Earth makes you very very warm inside once you've taken control of the GS.

Here some potholes are starting to threathen you - but no problem, riding is challange! Well... Yeah, sometimes it gets a bit too much out of control on excessive speeds, but you can manage, don't worry.

Once it's under control, your adrenalin levels will fall and everyting will be normal again - reaching higher speeds again.

Altough the signs strongly recommend to drive maximum 50kph, we choose double of that - 100kph in case not to let deep potholes to do any serious damage to GS suspension.

Again some river crossings, glad we haven't encounter them much - you may never know when the wooden bridge could crack under GS huge weight... Here the roads are going bit more muddy and ask for more rider's skills confidence.

At this spot we encounter a fragment of very fine tarmac - good relaxation for boxer engine that has been under medium stress on the gravel.
36.jpg
37.jpg




But not for long... The gravel with open rocks on it doesn't like to wait long.
38.jpg
39.jpg




Acctually, it's very hard to spot your shadow on the speeds of 80-100kph on the roadside tree. But we just did it.
40.jpg




Some turns onto another roads and we're about the complete the circle.

The Sun is setting to, reflecting cuttin' edge light into your eyes from the mirror.
44.jpg




And todays ride is now complete - we're now riding back on the way home in the low light of sun, 250 kilometres of gravel.

In fact, i did. One hand, sometimes even two off the bar at the speeds 100kph on gravel. Takes some practice to be quick and precise photographer. :D

Mo@is still on non TKC80 - miss them alot.

PS: Since there's no Conti dealer in my country - when you guys come to Estonia in 2005 - maybe you'll bring one extra pair of TKC80 with you i could buy, eh? :beerjug:

Sh*t Greg, you didn't tell me there was gravel.............. I fall off in gravel:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Chillout dude, we have half gravel and half tarmac. Both types are mostly separate - just choose the one you like.
