Has anyone cycled EuroveloR1 all the way to St Petersberg
Has anyone cycled EuroveloR1 all the way to St Petersberg
I've organised myself a tour following the R1 to Berlin and intended cycling back. But all the way to St Petersberg keeps calling. It's not the distance as I've already done more than that. It's actually cycling outside of western Europe - Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Russia that's scary. Anyone had first hand experience. Happy to hear opinions too.

I'm not much help but doesn't R1 = Eurovelo 2, rather than EuroveloR1? Might help to retitle the thread.
MJR, mostly pedalling 3-speed roadsters. KL+West Norfolk BUG incl social easy rides http://www.klwnbug.co.uk

I dont think so the full title is: Boulogne-sur-Mer - St. Petersburg R1. I thought that was Eurovelo R1. The names are confusing elsewhere that route is called EurorouteR13. EV2 apparently goes to Moscow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroVelo#EuroVelo_2 suggests you may mean Euro-Route R1. Confusing, eh?

You're telling me. I've been joining five Velo routes up all day. Nearly finished but you have to wonder how accurate they are. Unfortunately the Germans have restricted Google Street view to major cities only. Bar Stewards.

No direct experience but seem to remember reading some bad stuff about Russian roads and drivers.
