It was pretty warm, just a couple of degrees below zero. But lots of snowfall and wind 🥰

You know this, right?

This one does have a name, Suolamännynpolku. But that's only visible in maintenance class maps and the zoning plan I guess. Yeah, regular 1st class (so the 2nd highest class) so absolutely should have been plowed 🙄

Very difficult to recognize the exact path here. Which one is it? Maybe a lower maintenance class path? Nevertheless, should have been plowed of course.

It's a public traffic portal, available also in English and Swedish. Feel free to play around with the data. www.oulunliikenne.fi , select bicycle as your mode (or whatever you want) and select the layers and options you want.

So is winter 🥰

Sisu is nice, but no need for it here. It's just good infrastructure and maintenance.

Exactly! Although, studded tires are not at all necessary here. There's no ice at all. That said, I'm all for anything that makes anyone more comfortable riding, be it studded tires or what ever 🤗

ALT: "They really shouldn't let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I'm going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way."

I of course have a permission from the company and from the tractor drivers. So don't replicate this yourself 🙏

This is a three-lane bicycle & foot only path. We've agreed on this with both maintenance company and the drivers, and I have their permission, of course 🙏

Thanks for your concern, I understand it. I of course have a permission from the company and from the driver 🙏

Sarmitunturi oli kyllä hieno ja kiva paikka 🥰

I'm Finnish, but thank you nevertheless 🤗🇫🇮

Kiitos! 🥰 Harmillisesti oli vasta neljäs kerta ;)

Jep, aina on ollut mukana. Mutta se katkenneen pätkän onkiminen kahvan sisältä on se työläämpi osuus. Onneksi se onnistui lopulta, niin sai vaihdettua uuden tilalle.

This year we navigate from Verla via various forest-related checkpoints and parkours to the world's northernmost pine forest in Stabbursdalen National Park. Feel free to follow our journey! And if you're participating, please, please consider getting the much better Sportrec live tracking!

Thanks! I've definitely thought about it, but then again, I'd like to keep this 70+ year old bike as close to the original as reasonably possible 😊
