18 November is the Independence Day of Latvia — even though there were no borders set, a group of dedicated nationalists proclaimed an independent Latvian state on this date in 1918. Several months after this courageous step had been made, military interventions still went on — the Russian Empire did not want to lose this important territory. Nevertheless, this day is still the most important national holiday for every Latvian.
I love this beautiful country, so I decided today to make my comeback, after my bike crash with a multi-fractured upper arm. This was in preparation for my bike race Chur - Arosa and ended in a 70 day break from cycling.
