The long Independece Day weekend provided an opportunity for a couple of longer rides between Paimio and Kimito Island. Here's a photo recap of Sunday's ride to Paimio.
The morning was very nice with a beautiful sunrise:
I started my ride around noon. The temperature varied between -2...-5°C, and there were some occasional light snow flurries.
A motor road is actually not that bad when the views are like this:
45North Wölvhammer boots are truly amazing. They really keep feet warm on long rides too.
Views from the Rungonsalmi Bridge:
Ice is starting to form:
The biggest cliff on the side of Turku road:
After the big road I turned to the country side of Sauvo which is rich in small, twisting roads and nice landscapes:
The day is short, as we are only a week away from the Winter Solstice.
Another descent:
Getting dark:
After 3 hours 13 minutes and 56 kilometres, I was at home again. It was a very nice and surprisingly comfortable ride.
I'm looking forward to more longer rides in December and an overnighter too. Conditions are forecasted to stay wintry, so it couldn't be better.

What is your sock system inside the Wölvhammers Toni?
First, a pair of merino wool socks and then thick hand knitted wool socks. This is possible when the Wölvhammers are about 2 sizes bigger than your normal size.
