Wednesday 3rd July 2019, after last night storm ( Linnys vid) we woke up to lovely morning, little knock on our door around 06:50 and they brought breakfast into the room, Keith had already gone looking for it, by the time he cam back, Linny and I where tucking into Ukrainian porridge with butter (tasted OK mixed in with banana) white bread cheese slices, frankfurter things and six boiled eggs, all in all pretty good. Pretty difficult start to the ride in the city, but the roads seemed pretty good, will they last? we soon got out of the city on quiet good road, after about 15 mile called into a petrol station, Keith having a bit of trouble with his front panniers, ended replacing the fixings, also adjusted Linny saddle. Off we went again to no particular destination either Svitlohirskev one possible hotel at around 65 miles or Dnipro loads of hotels there but at 94 miles. The road soon deteriorated to the usual patch work of repairs and pot holes, but we are all getting used to riding through them now. Pushed on to a little village with two old ladies gossiping, rather than serving us, disaster struck in no ice creams, so we quickly moved on left them chatting, stopped at a petrol station a few miles down the road, still no ice creams, all on withdrawal symptoms. All still in good frame of mind, mainly due to the hearty breakfast porridge rules, we soon ended up at Svitlohirskev pretty bland hotel with no lunch menu, made our mind up to head for Dnipro, Linny did the calcs around 30 miles to go, Keith did the ice cream search, possible place 16 miles. So off we set after a soft drink, Keith pushing the pace (ice cream deficiency kicking in) Linny and I taking it all in our stride, we where soon flagged down by Keith with a big smile and a Magnon the ice cream not the gun) Normal service resumed had a coffee ice cream nuts and crisps, still full up from breakfast. The hit the last 12 miles or so, we where soon into the city limits, with trolley buses, trams and the usual rush hour traffic, not sure how we all stayed together but made it to the Maba hotel, ( we really need do more research on the hotels, touring bikes down two sets of steps!) but a nice room, all three of us in the same room, always fun. Once again a great day riding.
