Two guys from Russia decided to go on a 1300km (800 mile) bike trip. They started their adventure in Volgograd, and on their way they visited Astrakhan, Elista, and Stavropol. The entire journey took them 18 days to complete. Thankfully they brought a really good camera along, so here are pictures they took along the way. (If you happened to like Russia through the eyes of a cyclist, then you should definitely check out Russia through the eyes of an airline pilot)…
