Now that the leaves are falling, the wind is picking up and the weather is getting generally nastier, the weekly group ride I've been participating in (08-Lenkki) has moved to the forest floor where is warmer and less windy. The threat of rain all day and high winds (40 mph gusts) didn't keep any one away and 37 rides show up for the annual meeting of road, cyclocross, and mountain biker for Soratieajo 2008.
I had no idea what this was at the start but it wound up a 5.5 hour ride through about every imaginable terrain you could find in the forest. So my new cross bike is now officially baptised.
Here's some pics of the ride.
And sportstracker data.
The weather here isn't a factor for riding, it's just another way to dress, and maybe a little extra anti-freeze in your hubs. As one of my colleagues told me, "Finn's aren't made of sugar!"
