RVYC’s Final 2019 “Two-Wheeled” Cruising Dinner
A Nine-Country Eastern European Journey by Bicycle
From the Baltic to the Bosporus
November 28, 2019

RVYC members Dennis McMillan and Don Jonsson, boat partners in Andante, their C&C 34, chose to become bike partners as well. Over two months, they rode the roads in Eastern Europe, traversing nine countries—eight of them former Soviet Bloc nations. Starting in Tallinn, Estonia, on the Gulf of Finland, their legs pushed them 3,500 km to Istanbul on the Bosporus. They will regale you with their thrilling tales of cycling unsupported, on every type of highway, country road and city traffic.

Along with a series of dazzling photos, they will tell you their observations of the cities, villages, rural life, cultures and the people they met. They’ll reveal the logistics of cycling great distances far away from the crowds visiting western Europe.
