The weather was just perfect - sunny spring in Finland. The first 15 km were easiest (except for the cross country part) and finally we came to the a horse farm. There we stopped for a while to take a rest break and to ride the horses [I prefer "horsies"  This is slang.  Using it here will make you become like children having a great fun.  It speaks of volumes of common human experience.  This is to make your piece interesting]. Well, as it turned out, the riding was very very cold and horses were very tall. high :) Anyway I've got a nice experience for us all. 

That On this day, we had done some 53 km before we reached reaching a shelter right on the Russian border. We were able to watch the fantastic partly green landscapes; enjoyed driving the cycling on deserted roads and take some taking pictures with broken ice covering of channels on covered with broken ice in the background. At sunset we stopped for dinner to have some meal in the Laplandia market (no idea why this name were was chosen). The only one thing they had for us at that time was soup with salmon. which was So very tasty and even more so after 10 times tastier after cycling for 50 km!

At the time When we reached the shelter, we were eager for the sauna was ready for us our tired bodies. Tired but Still we were in great spirits happy we and spent some time playing games and finally went to before slipping into a sweet sweet slumber sleep...

The next day brought us an early rise and 41 km more kilometers! At first of them were it was unbelievably difficult, but after breakfast in the Laplandia market we got used felt very much better.  We began to pedal... and pedal... and pedal...

We changed the route and almost all day long were driving among cycling through the channel. When we arrived back to at the city, [Your sentence is confusing.  With the word "back", do you mean we were back home?" It makes more sense to me that you reached your destination]we bought had ice cream and motionlessly sitting on and sat in quietude on the benches were eating them. The sun was shining and in silence everybody was proud in knowing that we had done extremely well! :)

Of course in finishing We finished our trip, with we have more cleaning and oiling, of course! I'm looking most eagerly forward to a the next trip! What could Now... When would it be?..

The Trip to The Russian Border by on Bikes

So, we are I am back!

I've had written about my plans to take of taking a nice biking trip to the Russian border and now I'm glad to let you know that the trip is was successfully completed!

Instead the planned 106 km, which we had planned we only made only (only??) 94 km in two days. We started from the University around 11 am, before we had cleaned our bikes were cleaned with environmentally friendly soap and oiled the chains. Our group consisted of 8 driver eight cyclists and a ninth following us in guy with a car. We were lucky to have have in our disposition the car! We left everything we All that was needed just in the evening were left in the trunk of the car and didn't care we have nothing to worry anymore.

Roads in here are in very good condition.  The well, snow had melted at least a week before our trip. Now probably No one could explain why we turned cycled into a field... You could see the place on the attached map (I called it "cross country)! The field was totally under water and the ground was as soggy like some an porridge! And for sure there is no explanation to washing and polishing before the trip!.. :) [don't understand and so I am guessing] All the washing and polishing before the trip started were a wasted effort. We soon turned back soon.
