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:

Decloration of Christmas Peace

This decloration of Christmas Peace is 700 years old tradition in Finland.
The original idea of this statement is about possibility of stricter sanctions for infringements committed throughout the Christmas time. The original Christmas peace time was 20 days starting at noon on Christmas Eve.
The oldest event takes place in the old Great Square of the city of Turku.
This christmas I visited this event in Turku. I took the train to Turku and after the decloration I took the train back home. It’s nice to live so close to the railway station!

The video is shot with Insta360 AcePro 2 at the tip of the 110cm tall selfie stick.

On the last days befere my “big adventure” I changed the tires to my bike. Metzeler MC 360 Mid Hard was already pretty much gone from the front. Rear had still about 5-6mm of knobby.
New tires were Heidenau K60 and they were quite perfect for me in this situation!
Then started packing:

I was very happy about the size of all the luggage! Even I decided to take my tent and camping mattress with me (and I didn’t need them!) I was ready for my biggest adventure so far.

First leg was to ride to Helsinki and put my bike to the train (Helsinki – Kolari). And after 15 hours in the train I was far north in Lapland!

It’s almost Christmas! Last weekend there was (new) Christmas Market in Salo and I decided to make a visit. I had also my drone there with me.

Then on sunday we had sunshine! I made a short walk in Fiskars village and here is the result:

Holiday Adventure Day 3

“The rainy day”
The weather forecast promised that during the day it would come better, the rain would stop and there would be sunshine. But it didn’t!
So I didn’t stop too many times and I didn’t take too many pictures.

On the north side of Imatra TET Section 4 is following “Niska-Pietilä” museum road and not too far north from this road I turned away from TET.
I was now checking the new possible section 10. And it had right away very nice parts that you can see in the video starting from here. It was amazing roads and tracks all the way to Punkaharju.
And in Punkaharju the route goes of course from the old ridge road that was voted as the most beautiful road in Finland. It’s called now as “Vuosisadan tie” (The road of the century).

Before Savonlinna quite luckily just beside this “new TET-route” there was sport resort Tanhuvaara and I stopped to ask the price for the room. It was a big surprise when they said 55€! And the breakfast was included. I didn’t think too long to choose this! Later in the evening I was riding to Savonlinna to eat something and I found quite good Chinese restaurant.
The video of the day:

Day 2 was about continuing the section 41 to east and then turning to section 4 to noth.
The route for the day was like this:

After I started following the TET route I came almost right away to Strömfors.

And then quite soon the TET route was mostly about very nice forest roads! Just before the route goes to the south side of Highway 7 there is this:

Yes we have toilet for TET riders! Actually I don’t know why they are there in the middle of forest?? The video of the day is here:

New Toy: Insta360 X2

This I’ve been dreaming quite long time. Now I have it!

If you compare the size of the camera to any other action camera it’s not big! And it shoots pictures or video all the time to every direction! Then when you’re editing the video you can choose which direction comes to the final video!
Or you can make a 360° video where the person who’s watching the video can choose himself to what direction he’s watching -like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0t3UUaQci4
The editing is a little bit different because you have to think all the time which direction of the video is the best. For example when I’m going to make motorcycling videos with this there can be things happening in many directions! But luckily you can make many cuts where you’re using the different POV of the same file.
Me and my friends were skiing!! For me it was the first time in more than 10 years! Ahh it was fun! So I was testing what kind of picture this camera takes and how it is to edit the video… I didn’t know the the lights in the hill can have that bothering effect to the video that everything is flickering!! Unfortunately in this video it bothers… Next time I will use some other fps (frames per second).

Tartu & Lake Peipus spring 2022

First time visiting foreign country in more than 2 years!
Tartu is second largest city in Estonia. It has very long history since it got the city rights in 13th century and it was already quite important town for Teutonic order.
Only place/ building that is left from medieval times is the fortress hill and the cathedral that stands on the top of the hill. It is quite interesting church because it’s mainly ruined but one part of the old church is reconstructed and they are still using it!
We came to Tartu by car to spend 2 full days exploring the area. And The city of Tartu is not that big so we also checked Lake Peipus (Lake Peipsi) and few villages close to it.

Tartu town hall
Art museum
Inglisild
Tartu tähetorn
Monument of FGW Struve
Town hall from the fortress hill
Angels bridge
Ruined side of Cathedral
Tartu Cathedral
Kaarsild
Streets of old town
Jaani Kirik
Söpruse sild
Sunset view from Anne kanal
Ahhaa Science Center building with spiral on the top

We also checked the Tähtvere park and the area of National museum. That museum is quite amazing building (Built in 2016) -to take a picture of this I should have my Drone with me! But you get the idea from the picture in Wikipedia.

Lauluväljak
Tartu kuldnokk
Emajoe rand
Old distillery

Then on the second day we visited Lake Peipsi. The first village that we visited was Räpina (Sillapää Loss), then Mehikoorma lighthouse and Meerpalu rand, then Kavastu Praam (manual ferry) and finally Alatskivi Loss and Kallaste rand.

Estonia is not very big country but there is so much to see. You should stop in every small village and probably you will be surprised by the history or by the people! And it’s only 2 hour ferry trip from Helsinki Finland!!
