In the beginning of July 2021 the Linesman of Finland (Roland from Austria) gave the task to me!
I was ofcourse very flattered about this and I was thinking should I take such a responsibility to me since I’m not very active rider anymore, But from the other hand I want to be more active! So here’s my reason to go riding Enduro more often!

I’m the new Linesman of TET Finland!

For my first active thing I went riding! Took my XChallenge very early in the morning…

Sun is about to rise…

I didn’t have too much planning done. First to ride to Iso-Valkee lake and to the TET route and then start to follow the route to Hämeenlinna and beyond. My main goal was to change the eastern route to go to EVO -area.
It was about 1,5 hours ride to Iso-Valkee.

Just before Kisko Kko (Church village of Kisko)
Somewhere in Kiikala forest

About 6.30 am I arrived to Lake Iso-Valkee -I had the video camera also with me!

Iso-Valkee as beautiful as always!
This place is already in Kanta-Häme (Tavastia proper)
Riding up to the lake highlands of Tavastia… 150 meters AMSL
Getting closer to Hämeenlinna
Short visit to Aulanko area in Hämeenlinna
And the TET route goes through Parola military area…

FInally I found the place to stay for the night quite close to EVO area and next morning I would meet Lauri and we would ride together few interesting roads of EVO.

Early morning in Kuohijärvi

After 2 days of riding in this interesting area I can say that I know area quite well!

These roads I was riding in EVO.

Here I separated from Lauri

I wasn’t sure where to ride on the 2nd day but the bike was making some strange sound! I got little bit help from Autohuolto Markku Ruuskanen in Luopioinen to find out that it wasn’t the rear wheel bearing that was making sound.
But I still decided to continue riding south… I was thinkin maybe to spend the night somewhere in Forssa (???)

I checked this Off-Road route near Toijala

But finally it was riding all the way back home! And it almost 400km’s in one day!
The whole trip was like this:

2 days Enduro trip…

And after few days of planning the new TET Finland route is ready for download!
