Riding in Finland
« on: March 09, 2014, 12:20:15 AM »

EDIT: NEW stories in new comments so the latest comment is the latest story



Season 2014 started! But it was a bit cold so we ended up to our sauna. It's a start anyway!

So we had season for one week - now it's snowing and no riding for the next two weeks. At least...  :(

Similar here. Tuesday's hi was 12ºC // rode the brick. Wednesday morning started dumping 5mm of snow per hour for most of the day // stayed home. Thursday morning was low -17ºC // rode the 60cc. Yesterday 10ºC // back on the brick. It is 3ºC now and dropping to -4ºC by the time I come home // back on the 60cc (I'd be on the 250cc on a cold dry day but it needs crank seals).

This was a bit longer ride. Eight days, riding through Finland from south to rather north (Lapland) and to Norway. 3600 kilometers, 1500 pics and 135 videoclips.
