Gravel track near a chimney. The valve hole was clogged, so I rode with 0.8 front pressure. I didn't go too far, so I could get back on the shoe if something went wrong. I planned the route in my head along the way, and it turned out quite well: the road carries, the wheel doesn't sink, 85% forest, passable

Its oxbow lakes, I wandered there. Interesting terrain, forgotten branches of the Vistula, willows, autumn, a gloomy sky, and then the sun broke through. These are the kinds of places you constantly miss when riding along Mazovia's most popular cycling route. I leaned against an old willow trunk, making

When the rain stopped, I went to the Dębinka reserve, whose sandy roads used to be an obstacle when I returned from the Podlasie route. It's close to home, but here I still had to cross the sands of the reserve. That's why I hadn't visited this place for a long time; I'd always been there in the dark

....but then everything returned to autumn normal and everything was back to normal. My feet got frostbite. But I saw some expensive Endura merino socks at CR, and I'll buy some – double ones, maybe that will change something. I found new willows. They're building a huge Panatonia arena next door.

I've been trudging along the Masovian railway since dawn, freezing, listening to conversations, "Oh, Karol, good thing we have him." Karol, what Karol, Karol the Pope, what's going on? I think I missed something; as usual, I'm not catching up. I look out the window, to the west, a pristine expanse of

...and the truth is, I left in the morning, but since I forgot my head, I only took my skull protected by a helmet, so I had to return. It's not a pleasant decision, especially since I had already covered the section near the house, which I know by heart, and what's more, I was there yesterday.
I postponed

Mazowsza w Polsce i świecie to nie zna się wcale. Nie ma tu nic takiego, co zobaczyć chciałaby masowa turystyka. Drzewa, krzaki, sporo małych rzek, płynących w różnych rowach, płaszczyzny pól, gdzieś czytałem, że kiedyś było tu wielkie jezioro, i ciśnienie wody spowodowało, że jest to prawie idealna płasko. W sumie to wyjątkowa sprawa. W innych miejscach są góry, pagóry, wyżyny, jeziora, morze. A na Mazowszu lasy otaczające stolice, w nich wydmy, a i wierzby, ale tych to trzeba już dalej w interior wyjechać, bo blisko miasta to już deweloperka. Czasami są dni, że i krzaki jakoś ciekawiej wyglądają o swicie.

Masovia is completely unknown in Poland and the world. There's nothing here that mass tourism would want to see. Trees, bushes, numerous small rivers flowing through various ditches, flat fields. I read somewhere that there used to be a large lake here, and the water pressure made it almost perfectly

I got up early to make it to Przehyba, a long, winding, steep road leading up to it. I rode up without looking back, so as not to see the trickle of sweat trailing down. As I rode up, a royal breakfast was served; I had number 29. I surveyed the slightly blurry panorama of the Tatra Mountains. A fierce

Brrr, it's so gray! It's hard to tell if it's real or just a feeling. I had to switch to a playlist of Polish hits from my youth. And there I came across a song with the lyrics "gray mirages." I went there so none of you would have to. Right by the Bug River, the road was completely covered in water
