Reindeer

Special News: Statistics from Professor Beierke:

Average distance performed in Finland:  147,2 km per day, Alois did 70,3 per day.

To go: 565 km plus 2170 HM ( altitude meter) 

We should leave Finland in 2.5 days. Have already 1006 km cycled in Finland.

300 km still to cycle through Norway

Backstage Information: Alois is our hero as he always booked great camping places. It is a good strategy to drive to the new site early in the morning as most sites are full by late afternoon. Sofar we found good places close to our planned route and with minimum requirements: Shower and WC...

Starting point (A): Orakoski Camping, Rovanieri

Ending point (B):  Nilimella Camping, Sodankylä

The tour today was 134 km long. Warm weather again from 19oC in the morning and 28oC when we arrived at the camping site at 1pm. 

We saw today different reindeer. It was great to be able to expierience this in Finland. The locals are very telaxed and take not even notice when reindeer appear. We were very excited!!!

We only followed one road today: E75. It was a good and very fast road.

Any comments and questions are welcome!!

See you tomorrow!

    Waren Mücken bisher überhaupt kein Thema auf der Tour?

    Krasse Landschaft. Da braucht ihr ja gar kein Navi! :) Aber da kommt man sicher schön zu seinem tiefsten Inneren und kehrt dann als besserer Mensch zurück! Übrigens haben wir hier heute auch mal 30oC. Gute Fahrt!

    Thanks for the pics of the reindeer! I think the Finnish lady was joking and was happy to see you naked…even if Klaus was not!

Training for 2 - for 2025 Tour

 Stefan and I had a rainy training for 6 days on Mallorca. With total of 520km and 7000 AM we basically met the biking work from last year - except: we got totally wet on 4 training days of 6!! Germany has fantastic weather these weeks and we fly to this beautiful island for getting wet. At least we trained for consecutive 6 days and still have a lot of training to do for the next 6 weeks before we start our second part of our tour. We look forward for this tour!!!

Peace

  After a good breakfast we were heading towards Enschede, the place we had to finish our tour last year. The distance was 170km from Edewecht to Enschede. To make peace with this town, we had to meet at the polder to start our tour to the Northkap this year. Done. Start of our tour was 12:30pm and we did 75km today. At 30oC it was a smooth and warm ride with no event or break. Alois went ahead with Frank and reserved a nice camping site place at the sea in Haselünne. Had a relaxed evening with great shower, good barbecue with salad and walk to the Haselünner sea. See you tomorrow!
