LV – Riga to Ainaži
19.06.24 – Day 26 solo trip to Estonia on a BMW R1150 RT
Time to leave Riga and ride to Tallinn, Estonia. That was the plan.
With some detours on twisty roads this should be possible.
So I had an early breakfast again at 06.20 am and started the engine at 8 am.
Weather was not too bad, a bit cloudy but dry.
The first 40 km were not really funny. Lot of morning traffic and riding in industrial areas around Riga.
The route I took and was recommended by a guy at BMW was not too bad. At least some twists on smaller but good roads. Fun to ride.
BTW- Moscow is not far, just a 2 to 3 days ride…lol.
Unfortunately the weather got worse and worse – more and more clouds and close to the Estonian border heavy rain started.
As I was on the road already for + 230 km and got tired (remember the early breakfast) it was a good decision to check about accommodation. The closest little city was Ainaži with a lot of choices for a room.
The Priedes maja Hotel was the one I choose and I can recommend that.
74 EUR per night incl breakfast is a good value for the money. Safe parking for the bike as well and a restaurant.
The rain not stopped until 4 pm, so time to take a nap!
As soon as the rain stopped, I went out for a walk. This little town is cute. A lot of old houses with a description about the history.
For me a very very cute little town! And the best is, the border to Estonia is not far.
I had dinner in the hotel and went to bed early after some route planning.

Stay tuned and enjoy yourself guy’s!!!
