May 2008 - Russian Olympics get in the way!

So, it was now May 2008 and I had spent 4 months developing a route that clearly wouldn’t work. I dumped the idea of the tour going to all of the individual States and to be honest, I didn’t have the heart to look at this again for many months. In fact, I had started working in Moscow assisting the Russian Government with their preparations for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, so I didn’t have much time to do any planning of the motorcycle tour. As it often does, work had to take priority and this prevented me from spending any decent amount of time on looking at the bike tour.
