St. Petersburg - Gatchina
We were to meet in the lobby at 11:00 ready to head out. I had plenty of time to eat breakfast, pack, and go for a refreshing walk on my last day in St Petersburg. We boarded the bus with all our stuff and departed right on time. Everyone was anxious to get to Gatchina where the cycling begins. On the hour trip we passed the Siege Memorial where for 900 days the citizens of St Petersburg heroically held back the Nazi assault. The memorial stands on the line where the Axis forces were stopped. At our hotel the others were fit for their bicycles while I assembled my trusty Lightning. A safety talk and route rap, dinner, then to bed. We are all excited to get pedaling!
