  • Finally after a winter with HUGE amount of snow it was possible to start riding!
    And I did it with 4 times riding in one week. The weather was already quite warm -not like I needed to put all possible clothes on me.
    First day ride was less than 100km like this:

    First ride of the season

    Second day I was checking one place where was flooding.

    Ride to Kärkelä Ironworks area

    Here is the short video of the place where the river was flooding!
    I made a riding video of this next days ride.

    3rd day short ride
    Riding to the border of Varsinais-Suomi
    Snow was mostly gone but lakes had still ice!
    The temperature was something like 10-13 degrees -so not too cold anymore!

    And then on saturday I got three friends with me and we did already almost 200km!

    Tour around Lake Lohja

    And here is the video of the ride:

    Spring ride 2022

    And there is more to come!!

  • We don’t have a lockdown in Finland. We are allowed to go out but meetings with more than 10 people is not ok. There was only 4 of us in a beautiful sunny weather and almost +10 degrees celsius. This time I didn’t choose any difficult tracks… and I finally made a video of this interesting route:

    Old railroad track

    This was a narrow railroad in Finland and it stopped working in 1967. But the track has stayed and it’s kind of in use as a road. But for example now in spring it can be tricky if there is still snow (and there was!!)
    Unluckily my riding ended with the flat front tyre in Karkkila (65 km’s from home).

    I was lucky that there was one big bike (KTM 1090 Adventure) so I could take a ride with him back home and then I picked my bike with my big car…

  • This season I started later than in a long long time! But there’s quite obvious reason: Covid-19.
    Last week there was already quite nice days but finally when I made the decision to go out on sunday it was quite cold! +3 (celsius) was the highest and -1 was the lowest. But at least we had sunshine!

    Somewhere in Vantaa
    I had to fill the tank!
    With me was one KTM 1050 Adventure and yamaha XT660 Tenere
    My XChallenge is running nicely!

    The route for this day was something like this:
