Lord, make me an instrument of your PEACE
Where there is hatred, let me bring LOVE
Where there is suffering, JOY;
Where there is doubt, the FAITH;
Where there is despair, HOPE;
Where there is darkness, LIGHT;
And where there is sadness, HAPPINESS.

Thanks for all those who have helped me to be here today, especially Riikka for your love support and understanding. To my coaches Neil and Robbie thanks for all the advice and encouragement.

The has been on my radar for awhile and now this dream has finally come true!

I'm in Kyrgyzstan with my ( highball) and the gear that I've carefully picked to tackle this great self-suported adventure across 1800km of remote mountains and valleys.

It's not gonna be easy, I know. But it will not last forever, so I'd better enjoy it while it last and take with me all the experience, the good.

Say hello to my little friend... DURGA 🔥 She will my weapon for 💪
Today we went for a short ride, chasing the sunset in Oulu and I'm stoked! This bike handled very well even in the snow tracks. I'm looking forward to what it can do in Rocky mountains. 😃

Today, Kali and I are embarking on a new adventure... , a 2000km bike race from Helsinki to Vardø.

Ruska means autumn in Finnish and I'm looking forward to see the beautiful colours of the trees slowly getting ready for winter. 🍁🍂

May we have good winds and be safe on the road.

It's been a week since I've came back to Finland, but I'm still adjusting to "normal" life.

Anyhow, I'd like to share a few snaps from the last part of the journey in which I've explored 3 beautiful Mediterranean islands:

It was a time to slow down a bit and enjoy more the time of the saddle. Swimming in the ocean, exploring ancient ruins and temples, eating good food and enjoying the night life a bit. 😎

I've also met my friend Simone in Sardinia and we've managed to ride together for a couple of days. He is the perfect example that you don't need much to go on a bike tour. He just got a cheap bike strapped a normal backpack to a rack and hit the road from Brussels to Sicily, which is an amazing achievement for a first tour! 🤘

I do miss the warm weather and the freedom of being on the road, but I'm enjoying to be back at home and spending time with Katariina 😍, my friends and Pieta 🐈

Looking forward to the next adventure, which is not so far away. So stay tuned for more tales from the road!

After spending a couple of days resting around Lago Garda and Vicenza, where I had a great time with my friend Laura, I went back to the mountains. 🏔️

From Lago Maggiore, I rode through beautiful beautiful hills near Biella and the Aosta Valley towards the Petit San Bernard pass, which lead me into France. 🇫🇷

The French Alps is the top list of every cyclist with breathtaking scenery roads, which we often see in . So this was like a dream come through for me. ☺️

Some of the highlights were the
Pt. St. Bernard, Col d’Iseran, Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, Col du Lautaret, La Grave and Bourg-d’Oisan, Lac de Serre Porcon, Col du Gaillon, river Vars, Nice. This is just to mention a few and goes without saying that I have met wonderful people on the way, which is very special too! 🙌

It was not only the ups and downs of the alps that I had to ride, but also my own mood/energy (or lack of it sometimes). This is actually something I love about bike touring. It helps you learn how to realise the impermanence of things and enjoy every moment as it is, not as you'd like it to be. By doing so, you can develop and be happy regardless of any circumstances. 😇
