I haven't been that active on here for the last month or 2 because I've been planning a bike trip.
The title pretty much says it all. Probably sounds like hell to some people but I'm looking forward to it. There may be a lack of variety of beers in the small town.
I'm headed over there mid june so it will be summertime and I'll have plenty of daylight.
I'm basically following a service track for the Baikal Amur Mainline, a railway track that covers the eastern half of siberia about 300km north of the Trans Siberian. The track goes through some pretty mountainous terrain with plenty of rivers and lakes (very good fishing!). I'll also be taking a track up the east side of lake baikal which will be pretty impressive.
Anyone been to Siberia before? Particularly lake Baikal area?
I've had a couple pretty decent Russian beers but are there any I should look out for in particular? I know there are some pretty good baltic porters from St Petersburg but that's over 6000 km away from my closest point. I'll probably see a couple of them around though.
I'll be doing a blog, the intro is here www.crazyguyonabike.com/bam2013
