Plan to discover Mazury lakes region in Poland appeared in my head in November, when I received an invitation to a religoious ceremony of

Holy Communion of my Goddaughter.
hmm, how shall I shoot three birds with one stone?
Beginnig of the motorcycle season for China Motorcycle Club (KCM) in Poland in Brok 1-4 May and a week later communion.
Distance from Brok to Mazury region only 160km.

I have studied Uncle'a Google Mapsevery day,maybe this way, perhaps through the park Kampinoski. And maybe, maybe maybe.
One moth later i had Vacation request signed by the proxy in my hands. Yupii.

4 Days before my planned Vacation my request was revoked. I had to go to KCM meeteing 600km one way, than 600km home.
To bee 4 days later back in the saddle.

With additional "help" came into my wife's boss who wanted to give her vacation only for a day of communion.
So i can go by bike... my wife will stay home (otherwise i must go by car ;-( )

I was already packed on Wednesday 8 May to start right after work. The the destinantion was Sochaczew.
I have there i friend with i have studied.

I was Convinced that the road by Kluczbork and Praszka is smooth as a table, therfore i was not in a hurry.
I saw this road a year earlier, in June, they where renovating it. i doubtet that they do not finished it yet.

But instead of a new smooth road i encountered several miles of the same milled asphalt.



As ussually in Zduńska Wola i stopped for junk food in McDonalds.




I did not want to go through the traffic jammed city of Lodz. So i asked the natives which way is the best to avoid jamm.
The proposed route i can recommend to all who want to bypass Pabianice and Lodz. Zduńska Wola, Szadek, Łęczyca (founded in the ninth
century, has plenty of sights to see), Piatek (geometric center of Poland), Łowicz, Sochaczew.

I was already quite late,and the friend of mine was waiting for me at work to hide the motorcycle in company garage.
I decided to explore these attractions at the way home. Going this route are you have beutifull sights.




About 7 PM i was at place. We went out for Pizza, some beers and wine.

Next day in the morning i had to pull off from the bed by 7 AM.
After drinking coffee,maybe two i went "gently" on.

Without a breathalyzer i moved first in the direction of less frequented roads.
The first goal was to visit the Żelazowa Wola.

In Zelazowa Wola is a branch of the Museum of Frederick Chopin, of course admission is paid, to see is an EMPTY palace of Skarbek family
where father of Frederick was a tutor.

In the palace are a few manuscripts of Chopin on the walls. In fact, it is not worth paying admission, unless you like to sit in a
beautifully decorated park and listen to the music of this composer (for exapmle with a pipe and god tabacco).
A year ago, I managed to sneak in there for free. This year I decided to just sip a pic.


The next accommodation I had in Nidzica, but I hate the number 7 road and on the road number 50 there plenty of trucks covering the views I decided to continue the journey by using, where possible, provincial or municipal roads.
It was a god choice: Road no. 705 was empty(!) and smooth as the skin of a baby.



The same goes for the National Park in Kampinos





A bit further, surfaces were significantly worn and had a considerable amount of repairs. (Provincial road no. 575)

I would not recommend this road to drive by car. With a motorcycle you can safely drive 70-90km/h.
At this area captivated me meadows and woods and wayside chapels.
