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.
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.
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.
I went for Åland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. I’m making videos for each day of riding.

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.
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.
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!
This year MotoAdventureDays took place for the fourth time!
I missed the first year, but I was one of the the group leaders the second year and now it was already the third time for me. Each year has been an improvement so the challenges for next year’s event are getting pretty big (when/if there is still room for improvement?)
Here is my compilation video of the 2024 event:
Muutama foto lisää täällä!
After some resting I was ofcourse riding again. So in July I took some interesting adventures and explorations around the area where I live!
First ride was 15th of July. I was checking the most southern parts of the mainland in Raseborg.
This ride has interesting very narrow canal in the beginning. This canal almost everyone remembers because one boating accident that happened there 14 years ago.
The second ride was 20th of July. I was checking some of the best trails near my home. It was also quite hot day.
Third ride was 21st of July. That was the group ride for “Pohjolan kurapyöräilijät” (Nordic dirt riders). We had super fun day!
Next ride was 23rd of July. I was finally checking the Kemiö island, the second biggest islanf in Finland.
Next ride was 27th of July. It is the seven sleepers day in Finland.
The last ride of July was on the last day of July. That I did with my friend Lauri in Hanko area.
I also shared a “remix” video of one of the best parts of that ride in Hanko area.
In August it will be the MotoAdventureDays again. I’m one of the team leaders (“Peura”) and I’m also doing some presentation about TET Finland. See you there!
I spent the night in Rovaniemi in someones private home. I never met this guy before and he was still offering me this. Some great people still exist! In the morning I continued my route south from Rovaniemi (ok, first it was east, then south). This was still TransEuroTrail Finland section 7.
I had about 130km route to check and first 40km were excellent!
In the video it’s the first 5 minutes…
Finally I was in the crossroads with TET section 19. Now I had to make a decision about where to next??
But that decision was actually made for me because on the previous evening I noticed that my front fork was leaking badly and the rear shock was soft (again!).
So when I cought some paved road I started to ride to south (I wasn’t thinking yet that I will ride as fast home as possible but that’s exactly what happened.) First I rode to Ranua… then to Pudasjärvi… and soon I was in Oulu and I took a swim in a nice beach of Vihiluoto.
I couldn’t find accommodation that was cheap enough so I continued all the way to Pyhäsalmi and stayed in a small cabin in Emolahti camping area (40€).
The route for the day 6 looked like this:
North Adventure Day 7 was only the ride back home on the paved road. I got heavy rain from Jämsä to Padasjoki.
