In this part of southern Russia is mostly flat semi desert land with nothing growing on both sides of the road A-154 , peoples are mainly living in small towns and villages located far apart. Thay are very friendly and like to ask a lots of questions , whenever we stops at the cafe for foods or drinks. The rides was so enjoyable on such smoooth road , on several occasions ,I had to pull aside to refresh myself from falling asleep. We did a distance of 179km today cos' Heather was in her element and top form.At 155km mark,I was about to look for camp spot with a small river around,but she wanted more as the tailwind is too hard to pull a handbrake on her. I am happy to stay at the back until she finally had enough , we camp at a small lake but couldn't have excess to the water cos' the edges was muddy . Another day of wipe & clean .The camp ground was a bit lumpy but still we slept soundly.
