Yes, talk about frustration...
The thing with cycling is that it is slow and you can't really make for lost time.
If you're not cutting corners and you want to ride all the way from Poland and reach the Pamirs before it gets too cold you do have to get an early start. Say mid-March at the latest. Which means making a decision in mid-January
I still don't completely understand the rationale behind the closure of Russia's land borders. I mean from what I understand the pandemic there is as bad as in the rest of Europe so it can't be a health-related decision on the part of the Russians.
