Comments: Pilaite-Trakai metric with some geocaching involved. Hid Karmazinai Hillfort and Siemetis Micro. Swapped TBs in Trakai. The other half of the ride was a bit disgusting due to vandalized Vytautas the Great monument near Trakai by drunks, lots of bottles and trash around. Then a car killed a deer right in front of me in Paneriai.
