I took a ferry across to Port Baikal and got on a train there to get out of Listvyanka and ride along one of the most picturesque railways in Russia - the Circum-Baikal Railway. Together with my bike, I arrived in the village of Slyudyanka, where I immediately visited a landmark - a marble railway station, talked to a tourist who told me about meeting a bear and rode on in the rain. The weather was not very good right away. It was late evening, so this day could hardly be called a trip and I rode only 50 km to the hotel on a bike, especially since after the service my bike broke down and the gears did not change. That day, the great Baikal was on my left the whole way. Under the gray sky, Lake Baikal looked scary. The next day, I met my subscribers near Ulan-Ude and they gave me a ride to the city so that I could have my bike serviced at a bike repair shop. I walked around Ulan-Ude with them, ate Buza and went to bed, leaving my bike with them. In the morning, some cyclists and I went for a bike ride around the city, rode around the center of Ulan-Ude, and they rode almost 100 km from the city with me. I was very impressed by the beauty of Buryatia. Ahead was a joyful and sunny day of cycling. I was pleased with the landscapes, scale and beauty of nature. I went on this bike trip as a savage, I had 0 rubles in my pocket. I managed to get to the sea as a savage thanks to this channel Smetkin's Syndrome. My name is Dima, I am 35 years old, I am a photographer and artist, I create large, beautiful paintings. A few years ago I started traveling by bike and now I can't stop, riding a bike, an electric bike and scooters in different parts of Russia and beyond. I have already traveled through many cities on different bikes, especially during this bike trip from Sochi to Vladivostok. In 2025, there will be even more long-distance travel on this channel, not only by bike, but also by motorcycle, I hope not only in Russia, but also traveling abroad. ☠️How to get a unique photo card from this long-distance bike trip from Sochi to Vladivostok: Send 1000 rubles to the card 5379653017486901 (not Sber) and send me a screenshot of this in my personal telegram smetkin_dima 💻My bike tour in the North https://smetkin.com/velotur 📝This is my Zen, where I write about my bike and motorcycle trips https://dzen.ru/smetkin 💳Help in developing the channel and help with bike trips https://pay.cloudtips.ru/p/d840d25a I rode an electric bike across half the continent.
