Hey, everyone!
On Wednesday, Apr 15th, 2020 we decided to take advantage of relatively warm weather in the area and go for a mountain bike ride to the Bald Mount which is near to Samara, Russia.
The journey was relatively long for the beginning of the season. Here is the GPS tracklog I recorded via my Garmin Edge 200 and uploaded to Garmin Connect: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/4803298852
My mountain bike of the local brand Welt leaning against the Orthodox Cross on the Bald Mount.
The Samara city is in the background, along with the great Russian river Volga taking most of the view.
The flooded island is called Zhelenenky. And the Krasny Glinka district along with the Tip-Tyav mount is in the background.
I met a friend in the middle of the early-spring forest!
The blossoming violet plant is called 'khokhlatka'.
The trails in the forest were dry enough and enjoyable to bike through!
Watch above my quick video demo on one of two lights we used while biking back home from the mount at night time.
And that's it for today!
Thank you very much for reading and voting!
Yours, Valerian
