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.

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.
