Tag: Spring

  • 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!

  • Yes! We’ve had so many nice sunny days so far and we really have been enjoying the spring.
    And it’s been coming fast. In Hanko (The most southern town of Finland) there’s almost no snow anymore!

    These pictures have been taken east from “Neljän tuulen tupa” cafeteria. There is area “Furuvik Nature preserve” (Furuvikin luonnonsuojelualue) where you can freely walk around and even take suntan but just don’t destroy anything from the nature.

  • Spring arrived slowly. Already in the beginning of march it was possible to hear these sounds in the forest. During the month the sounds became stronger and stronger and now finally almost all snow is gone! (You can still find it from the shadowplaces…)

    Soon there will be motorcycle stuff again! I did start riding anyway…

  • Thursday the 4th of May was finally the first actual spring-day here in southern Finland. I took some lining off from the jacket and pants ant took a short ride in very beautiful weather!

    This is a small beach in Vihti (Otalampi). And because of very nice weather I took a swim also… The ice melted maybe 1 week ago so the water was freezing cold!

    Little bit later I just stop the bike to take some photos. I am few meters away from the road and the sun is behind me… I love the photos that my new mobilephone (OnePlus 3T) is taking. The colours are very nice! This is also in Vihti (Tervalammentie).
    I have this new red screen in my XR, I ordered it from powerbronze and it makes the bike look lighter and faster (I think). If I try to lean down behind that screen the road looks like this:

    Soon I will be in my first tour for this year… We will take 5 days journey to Åland!!
