Boggle Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have only been to Riga before but am tempted by this one No luck with accomodation as it seems all booked up, however the first train back to Riga is 6.15am, and the bar at the Park Hotel Latgola stays open until 5am, so Im sure i could kill the time quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 There are 4 of us going, we are hoping to go to U21 in Italy then drive up to Latvia. My insurance company won't insure me for Latvia or Lithuania so I am hoping to be able to buy a green card at the border. We booked our hotel before Christmas & have also booked our tickets.

Joanne Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Really would have liked to have gone to this one. Looks a lovely stadium. Looked at Latvian sites and the writing is strange. What kind of writing is that? There is no way us Brits could try to say a word, never mind a sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Will be interesting GP. I guess that most of the top riders will not have ridden here before so practise on Friday will be important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomazpozrl Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Anyone know any riders that have ridden there? Is Zager Latvian? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Zagar is not Latvian, but he has ridden there a few times and he loves the place. He even won the European Junior Championship there in 2002, in front of Bjerre, Lindgren, Lindbäck, Kasprzak, Davidssons' etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
