Roads Speak (L)
Cycling Route
Details
111.77 km
593 m
The route is a tribute to roads themselves. An opportunity for a cyclist to realize that roads speak. They do so by means of winding, undulating and, above all, changing their surfaces which translates to a wide spectrum of different sounds and feelings that arise from under tires and echoe throughout cyclist’s bike and body. And it is a gravel cyclist in particular who experiences the widest range of road surfaces, from those of Estonian killustik on one hand, to those of desolate/overgrown sectors and sandy gravel on another. This route invites you to translate roads’ conversation into your riding fun.
