If the March trips in the snow were a test of character, then the May<\/strong> trip is a well-deserved reward. It’s the time of year when the motorcycle fraternity leaves their garages en masse, and Kashubia turns into the most beautiful playground in this part of Poland. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Direction: the Kashubian Loop (The Ultimate Ride).<\/h3>\n\n

For the long weekend in May, we recommend a route that will allow you to feel freedom on every run:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Start: Kartuzy (Capital of Kashubia)<\/strong> – The ideal base for your trip. Before you set off, take a look at the Collegiate Church with its coffin-shaped roof (climate!). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chmielno and Ostrzyce<\/strong> – This is where the dance begins. The famous Kashubian Road<\/strong> is a string of winding roads around the Radunskie and Ostrzyckie lakes. The asphalt is already warmed up, so you can brave the tires. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ascent of Wie\u017cyca<\/strong> – The highest peak in the region. It’s worth getting off the couch for a moment to look at the panorama of the lakes, which are an amazing deep blue at this time of year. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bytow<\/strong> – A destination perfect for lunch. The Teutonic castle makes a brilliant backdrop for photos of your machine. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n

    Why is a May trip to Kashubia a hit?<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • Temperature:<\/strong> you can finally take the undercoat off your jacket! Averaging 15-18\u00b0C, it’s the perfect conditions to stay cool and not get sweaty. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Grip:<\/strong> After the spring rains, the sand and salt have disappeared from the roads. You can finally feel what a good “grip” means. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Climate:<\/strong> Nothing beats drinking coffee on a lakeside terrace in the sunshine while your engine is slowly ticking away, cooling down next to a table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      \ud83d\udca1 May Survival Guide<\/h3>\n\n

      While it is beautiful, keep a few things in mind:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Invasion of tourists:<\/strong> May Day is not just us. There will be “Sunday drivers” and campers on the roads. Keep a rule of limited trust, especially on narrow local roads. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Reservations:<\/strong> If you’re planning an overnight stay, don’t count on luck. The best agritourisms with indoor parking are going faster than fresh yeast in Koscierzyna. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Insects:<\/strong> Yes, it’s that time. Your helmet glass will look like a battlefield after 100 km. Have fluid and a microfiber cloth with you! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
        \n\n
        \n

        A little technical advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Since it’s already warm, check your tire pressure. The value you set in March at 2\u00b0C has now surely changed. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

        May Day is the official holiday of every motorcyclist. Kashubia is waiting with open arms and the best serpentines in the north. <\/p>\n\n

        Where do we see ourselves this year? Bytow, Wdzydze or maybe a loop around Lake Jeziorna? <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
