| Comments: Another loud BOOOOOM! Right after I came back from the LBS. Another dead tire and dead tube. A second blown up tire this year! I knew the tire was about to blow up and luckily it happened at home. This was the front tire. Did some cleanup, replaced both tires. Will try Conti Gatorskins this time, I was told they were pretty prone to punctures. Will see. Rode a couple of circles around, the wind and rain were terrible. Tried the Pilaite hill against the wind in traffic and chilling shower, did not like it much. Searched a bit for a place to hide my GC and got back, did some other readjustments to the bicycle. |
| Weather Conditions: Warm during the day +3C to +8C. Strong westerly and rain. Not much fun riding. |

| Comments: A little warmup in Vingio Park early in the morning, the knee felt about right, did a little downtown tour, wanted to pick the eyeglasses, forgot the receipt. Stopped by the office, took the load, rode to the post office, then again some park ride. Decided to try slow century. Rode to Maisiagala-Dukstu Azuolynas. Left cache in Maisiagala, picked one in Azuolynas, wasn't easy tho due to wrong coords. Wasn't sure about the light batteries, started to get dark, so hurried up home. Been chased by three dogs near Suderve. Outran them no problem. Got to Vilnius OK, was still short about 25 kilometers to the century, so presented myself a slow park ride. |
| Weather Conditions: Pretty warm: +6C, some rain. Badly lacking daylight. Hard to believe last year we had -20C and below around this time. |

| Comments: Much snow, rather warm. Some park ride, large amount of skiers, only saw three other cyclists. Getting easier to count them as received a mechanical tally counter that I bought through eBay. Fun toy. Wanted to hide a geocache, but was limited in time as had to go to my wife's sister's birthday party tonight. Why are those parties held when the weather is so fantastic? Picked an antenna at the bus station. A fellow HAM Aidas LY3UV sent it to try on a bicycle from Kaunas. I'll need some mechanical work to do to mount it, but seems like it is just the right piece of gear, will see how it performs on the air soon. Getting hooked again. |
| Weather Conditions: Nice, a bit too much slush on the city streets due to salts. Park trails are fun to ride on. Either packed snow or just nice white fresh carpet you can decorate with your own tire ornaments. Snowed in the afternoon. Large white flakes. Finally finally a real nice Lithuanian winter. WOW. -2C. |

| Comments: Presented myself a nice city tour, then slow park ride which I did not like very much because the park looked more like a parking lot, huge amount of cars. I can't understand those who drive their vans totally ruining the peace of the nature. Slowly rode by the river back an forth, enjoyed the sounds of iceblocks touching each other and the branches of trees. Did some geocaching, got home late at night. |
| Weather Conditions: temperature averaged to -5C, light wind, the best weather to ride. |
