Tha last day of april is a big celebration in Finland and the same party continues on the 1st of May.
Here’s how it was for me:
Insta360
I took the commuter train to Hanko peninsula and I had my bicycle with me. I had also a route that I was going to follow from Santala (Sandö) to Skogby. I had been bicycling in Hanko area before so I knew it was going to be beautiful!
Again I found quite a lot of tracks that I didn’t ride before. Not with my bicycle or even by motorcycle. And ofcourse I planned the route go through the Lappohja beach area!
There was quite many swimmers in that ice-cold seawater! But they were all swans… I was thinking to go and I regret it that I didn’t do it!
Finally after 18,5 kilometers of riding I arrived to Skogby village and there is an old abandoned wooden house just beside the train station. I think it used to be a school and a daycare center.
And in the yard of this house I found it! There was a SPRING!
Here is the video of my bicycle ride, enjoy!
After fixing my steering bearings I can ride again!!
I tried already on monday (22nd of December) but there wasn’t enough juice in the battery. So I had to charge the battery full and now I’m hoping it will still be ok at least for this winter (and spring – summer) because it’s already 2 years old battery.
So this morning (The morning of 24th of December) I took a ride with my motorcycle! It wasn’t too cold but it was little bit slippery because of the light snowfall. Everything in steering was working as it should!
Video here:
I wish you all will have a very merry Christmas!

Did some riding after christmas too
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.
The new part of section 5 starts at 10:10
BMW Moottoripyöräkerhon alueiden tapaaminen
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?
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.
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.
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?!
I bought a new camera!
This camera I can also connect via bluetooth to my Sena Spider ST1 helmetphone and use it as a microphone.
My first video that I published was about testing the the camera with the microphone (helmetphone) and also about testing the video quality.
And I also made a remix video of the same ride (No talking and POI is always forward)
And I made a video with both of my cameras so that you can compare the video quality (and sound quality) between Insta360 Ace Pro and Insta360 X4.
With Quick Capture mode you can turn the recording on with one button but one big minus is that you can’t stop the recording with one button!!! I hope they will change this in future updates!
But after been using this camera now for awhile I can say that I’m very happy with the video quality and the sound quality. Thank You Insta360!
