Dear Vytenis!

At the same day almost all Estonian active cyclists are competing on Rõuge Cycling Marathon (3. stage of Elion Estonian Cup).

The other thing is, that your information would be more useful, if you'll post it here - www.xdream.ee!

Wow. Thanks for telling me this, despite the fact that I got to read it only today :-)

Anyway, we have 230 teams signed up and hope to reach 300 mark. We invite for those Estonians who are not in the Marathon - please come to Lithuania. Race fee goes up on May 16th.

Here are some shots from today's rope course trials:
