This post only in Finnish. Olin kutsunut ajajia liittymään letkaan jonka lähtö oli 03.05.2026. Mukaan liittyi 10 pyörää… Ja taukopaikalla mukaan liittyi samanmoinen määrä lisää pyöriä!
Tuli toteutettua semmoinen pitkänajan haave! Miten pääsee ajamaan poikittain sorateitä pitkin mahdollisimman lähellä pääkaupunkiseutua? Ei kovin hyvin, mutta jotenkuten kyllä. Tässä minun toteutus lauantailta 11. huhtikuuta 2026. (Here’s my idea of riding from west to east on gravelroads near Helsinki! Video is only in Finnish.)
It’s already almost 2 years ago when I was looking new tires for my bike and I was especially interested about Motoz tires. I was thinking I want to have better grip than I had with my first Motoz tires but I still wanted to have almost as good amount of kilometers! (At least with the rear tire!) So I made the order then and now finally I have the tires in my bike. Rear tire is Motoz Tractinator Desert
And the front tire is Motoz Tractinator DV (DualVenture)
But it seems that my order was made wrong way around! The front tire should last kilometers very well and rear tire will not. Well… I have these now and it is what it is. I was testing the new tires now for the first time and I made a video (This video is only in Finnish):
I was riding in the 8th of November but was it the last time?
It was in July 2024 when I had made the route in Bromarv peninsula for a short adventure. And I went there with the camera… but I forgot to take the spare battery! So I couldn’t shoot everything that time. Finally now I made “the same” and now I had spare batteries for the camera. There is also this one “famous” Padva beach on that Bromarv peninsula.
I’ve been riding around Karkkila – Pilpala area now already 2 times to find the new route for section 13! First time was 11th of October and second time was 25th of October. In the map those 2 times look like this:
And luckily now I can say that Yes I have found the new route for the section 13 and the update will be published soon. I can definitely say that the area near Cafe Lättis has some very nice roads and tracks and now I know the area quite well. Ofcourse I made the videos and you can watch them here:
Make sure you will always have the latest version of TET tracks when you go riding! Download the TET Finland here: https://transeurotrail.org/finland/
I’m calling this as “my baby” because it goes so close to the place where I live. But the section 5 was updated quite many times since it was published with it’s full length. It has “south part” from Siuntio to Turku and it has “north part” from Mynämäki to Räyskälä. Now it was time to make the north part at least little bit better! The section has mainly quite big gravel roads all the way from Mynämäki to Somero. Now I decided to check is there better and smaller roads between Heikin Laavu Lean-To shelter and Somero. This is only about 30km’s.
This post in Finnish only/ Eli kirjoitan tämän postauksen Suomeksi Muutaman vuoden oltuani BMW Moottoripyöräkerhon jäsen oli ehkä vihdoinkin aika myös osallistua kerhon toimintaan. Eli päätin ajaa alueiden tapaamiseen Punkalaitumelle (ja takaisin kotiin myös).
Aikamoinen sumu oli aamulla! Näkyvyys oli kuitenkin riittävä ajamiseen mutta kypärän visiiri ei pysynyt kirkkaana eikä myöskään 360-kameran linssi (tai linssisuoja).
Ajoin menomatkalla Jokioisten kautta. Kartanon pihapiiri on kyllä täynnä upeita rakennuksia ja tämä Tapulimakasiini niistä se kaikkein kuuluisin!
Humppilan ja Jokioisten välillä kulkee myös kapearaiteinen junarata ja Jokioisten päässä on tähän liittyvä museo jossa ehdottomasti kannattaa käydä.
Sumu hälveni vasta reilusti kymmenen jälkeen! Kuvasin tietenkin myös videon tästä reissusta, myös tällä videolla puhun suomea.
I was expecting that I wouldn’t have too much energy or will to ride after my long trip around the Baltic Sea. But I was wrong! I’ve been riding like crazy! In the beginning of August I was riding back home after visiting Helsinki area. This video is in Finnish.
Then I started to think that maybe I should do at least 1 group ride because I know so many riders would like to join! Started to plan the route… But this ride ended in big embarrassment!
Took another ride for planning the route:
And then one ride with a friend:
And yesterday I took a ride in Hanko Peninsula (Some amazing tracks!)
And there’s still 1 weekend coming!!! Maybe for the group ride?
