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!

It all started in April I think? The first time I went swimmimg (but I don’t have a video of that one).
The first time on the sea was 13th of June and that is in the video! (The dip is at 18:14)
Then I have on the video when I’m swimming in Sweden (the dip is at 10:09)
Then going to Lappohja beach (the dip is at 12:03)
Then going swimmimng to the lake that I didn’t go before (I didn’t take the video when I was swimming but the beach and the lake are at 11:38)
Then going to Hanko with bicycle, that was cool! (The swimming is at 02:54 & 12:58)
And then to the Iso-Simi -lake (I didn’t make a video of the swimming but the lake is at 06:55)
For this last video I even bought a thermometer for measuring the water temperature (4€!) because in the news they said that the water on lakes has gone over +25°! And yes, even this very deep lake with very clear water was 25-26°. This kind of temperatures are extremely rare here in Finland!
And yesterday it was also Jaakko’s day. According to popular belief, Jaakko throws a cold stone into the lake (and sea) and the water begins to cool down.
Started unscrewing things from my bike on Sunday.
I knew the airbox is fractured (broken) from the bottom. Exactly from the place where the breather line is connected to it. So I was thinking if I remove (and chenge) the airbox, maybe there is room enought to remove the fan also?
There isn’t!
But luckily the removing of the radiator is not so big job! After you remove side fairings from the bike you only need to remove the plastic cover of the radiator (1 screw) and then you can release the radiator itself (2 screws)! Here’s the whole “unscrewing things” video:
And the fan was like this:
And on monday I got the new fan for my bike. I ordered it from Poland. It was 70€ with delivery costs so not a bad price at all! The airbox is also new! I ordered it already last summer when I heard from Biketeam that it’s broken. Now finally I got it changed to a new one!
Yesterday I put everything back together in my bike and made a test ride.
It was almost +30° C!
I went for Åland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. I’m making videos for each day of riding.
Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
Day 6:
Day 7:
Day 8:
Day 9:
Days 10 & 11:
It feels like the days are exremely long and time is passing by very slowly for me.
But luckily I have few things I need to do for my bike before the midsummer festival and the monday after that weekend. Early morning on that day I will start my Adventure!
I will call it “Baltic Edge Adventure” and I even made my own introduction for the videos that I will publish from that trip. Here’s the intro video:
360° camera with excellent picture and video quality!
Finally bought this camera and I’ve been testing it few times. The first ride with motorcycle I did about week ago and the video is in Youtube:
I’m very happy that this camera has now the possibility to record 2 audio channels at the same time (same as AcePro 2). But there’s a prolem if I have them both with me and if they are both connected to my helmet phone! But that problem is sorted if I just unconnect the other one (probably this X5 will not be connected).
On the next day we made a longer ride in Kiikala area! Now I had both of my cameras with me.
First time making a longer ride with a small group of bikes (in 2025).
All the bikes in this ride are totally different!
1. BMW G650XChallenge (my bike)
2. CF Moto 450 MT
3. Suzuki V-Strom 800DE
4. Husqvarna FE501
And we had a blast!
In January all the snow melted and in february we got only few cm’s more and that didn’t stay long…
So before the March was even in the halfway…. I was riding!! Season 2025 is now started.
I was riding again on sunday but the footage from that ride is not very good. So there’s no video coming from that one. But later this spring and summer… there will be more!
I’ve been bicycling quite a long time with my Montana MTB… I would say it was almost 30 years! Now I started to feel that I want a new one and from the small local shop I found this Madison Grizzly 29.
I’ve now done some bicycling with it 4 times and I’m very happy with it!
Here’s a video of my first ride:
And my 4th time I took already the train towards Hanko… but I didn’t go to the final station!
I jumped off the train in Lappohja (Lappvik) and first I wanted to ride to the beach and then continue to Harparskog line area. There is a lot of forest roads that are blocked with the gate so I can’t go riding there with my motorcycle. Bicycle is a perfect choice!
Here is the route:
This bicycle ride was so much fun!! I’m thinking to do something very similar also this weekend!
For this bike it’s a good idea to buy also the winter tires (I don’t need them now) and maybe in the future there’s going to be a lot more of bicycling content in this blog?!
