World Run I / ReportsGoto: 2004-04-30 2004-05-02 Russia 2004-05-01:Distance today: 38.0 km (Accumulated: 5666.0 km) Country: Russia Route Report: Kamyshevska(road sign 84, P329) - Izetskaja(roadcross near roadsign 122, P329). 38 km., 3:12h., Alex + 2min., Kazuka + 1:04h.(time allways excl. drink, food and toilet stops). +11C. and slight overcast, no wind. Temprature rise quick to reach 25 humid C. last 2h's. Start 10:01 am. Finish 13:33 pm. Pleanty of birdvoices are heard from the wetlands at roadside. Gray clouds of humidity hang over the last mealting lumbs of ice. It is 1. of May - the socialist celebration day number one. But in Kamychevska the party is over. In front of the administration building the Lenin figure stands alone, surrounded by black-burned grass. A bit of the nose has fallen off. The dead soldier monument and socialist hero monument has lost a part of its fence; a cement pillar has tilted. Factorbuildings and farming tools lie emty around and apparently since long un-used. Just as we leave behind us the impression of a huge system that fell, I get sms news thet the EU this night according to its plan will expand with 10 nations. I hope the "big state/sysrem" building brings good this time. As far as 1. May goes the only sign we see an old Lada with a big red soviet flag wawing from the window. It passes us about midway on our stage - on its way to ?; yes, I wonder where! |
