In winter paradise today! It remains to be seen if today was the most beautiful day of this winter. Snow, sun and bluebird sky has been very rare sight here in Southwest Finland in recent years. Today I rode and pushed parts of the Paimion Polku trail. It's been too long since the last time. . . . . . . #winter #winterwonderland #winterparadise #wintercycling #wintertrail #winterpassion #snow #snowparadise #cyclingpics #cyclingphotos #talvi #talvenihmemaa #talviparatiisi #lumi #fatbike #fatbikes #fatbikefinland #finnishnature #finnishforest #paimionpolku 
BACK IN BIKE COMMUTING. After a long break I was back in bike commuting today. 39 km in the morning in -24°C and 40 km in the evening in -16°C. Clothing, gear and bike were spot on! Feeling also very good this evening, the long break was much needed. 
PROPER COLD. Preparing for tomorrow's 2 x 40 km bike commuting (after very long break) and testing my gear, the same I used in @itialaska last winter. This is also a bit of commercial collaboration and shoutout to my partners. I'm wearing full @enduraofficial MT500 Freezing Point set (jacket and trousers), under jacket Endura Pro SL Primaloft vest and @keliclothing custom merino wool long sleeve jersey, Endura Xtract padded knickers under trousers. To protect my eyes I have @smithoptics I/O MAG XL goggles with prescription lenses from the best optics store in Turku, @optinako. My lungs are not the same anymore after brutally cold conditions in Alaska so I protect them with @coldavenger Face Mask and Expedition Balaclava, which I have purchased myself but ColdAvenger is really great and deserve credit from me here. And @45nrth Wølfgar boots with my proven sock system on my feet. -25°C in the weather forecast for tomorrow morning which should be easy with this setup! 
FORCES OF NATURE. Short ride this evening to enjoy this rare arctic blast! People sometimes asks me why I like so much winter, especially when it's harsh. I like it because then the nature really shows that we can't control everything on this planet. We have to respect it and I think we don't respect it enough these days. These photos are fairly close to my home. Gravel roads on the open areas get easily snowdrifts and a bit of sastrugi. It feels great to have these phenomena here now as this is true winter and very similar to what I have experienced in Alaska! . . . . . #winter #truewinter #forcesofnature #snow #snowdrift #winddrifts #talvi #lumi #talvipyöräily #pyöräilytalvi #cycling #pyöräily #cyclinglife #fatbike #fatbikes #fatbikefinland #fatbikelife #wintercycling 
❄❄❄❄ Magnificent day and evening today! ❄❄❄❄ We got proper snowstorm here in Southwest Finland and we have snow, lots of it! Luckily I had a free day as well so I had a blast for over 4 hours. And my 'backyard' with some remote, unplowed forest roads just gives that extra excitement! 🌲Check out my Stories too! 
❄ Winter overnighter with @yetinylund. Although we don't have much snow, it was nice outing with fatbikes and good to sleep outside. 📷 2 and 10: @yetinylund. . . . . . . . #bikepacking #adventure #adventurecycling #adventurecyclist #fatbike #fatbikes #fatbikefinland #winter #talvi #talviretkeily #retki #yönyliretki #overnightrer #laavu #shelter #visitkimitoon #visitkimitoon #Kemiönsaari #ekniemihuippu 
Welcome Old Man Winter, I've been waiting for you! Needless to say I was having fun this evening! After incredibly bad winters of 2018/2019 and especially 2019/2020 here in Southwest Finland it's looks like January and possibly February will be good winter months over here. Arctic Oscillation is well in the negative territory and Sudden Stratospheric Warming is in progress and the Polar Vortex is getting weak. . . . . . #winter #winterishere #oldmanwinter #winterwonderland #snow #talvi #lumi #weather #winterweather #sää #keli #arcticoscillation #polarvortex #SSW #suddenstratosphericwarming #wintercycling #talvipyöräily #pyöräilytalvi #fatbike #fatbikes #fatbikefinland #fatbikelife #outsideisfree #getoutdoors 
Very nice afternoon ride today in the northern side of Kimito Island. The gravel roads were frozen and some had a thin layer of snow. . . . . . . #cycling #cyclingpics #cyclingphotos #instacycling #cyclinglife #cyclingpassion #gravelcycling #gravelgrinding #gravelroads #gravellife #wintercycling #fromwhereiride #roadslikethese #pyöräily #pyöräilytalvi #talvi #talvipyöräily #hiekkatiepyöräily #Kemiönsaari #visitkimitoön #visitkimitoon #tammikuu
