good morning this is an hotel room with a bike
they booked me a hotel room
and the bike was in the room because there was no storage place and yeah bike's in the room in the hotel
if you are by traveling and you can afford a hotel it's gonna be very sad for you
because you're not gonna meet anyone, the best thing to do is always to ask someone to camp in
their backyard and you will make new friends or use couchsurfing and warmshowers and you
might get even a room or to camp in nature today we're gonna do Loviisa to Porvoo
it's 67 kilometers if you're not mistaken from here
all right officially on the road
downtown Loviisa nice old houses very old houses around here
those all look like very old houses but in very good shape
let's go and have a look around
let's have a look around and take some pictures, some pictures for posterity
officially leaving Loviisa rumbo Porvoo,
enjoyable little village on the
on the sea i guess it might be a river
but most likely it's the sea
Loviisa camping oh there is a campsite as well reception
they have rooms as well nice
it might make for
some interesting pictures here of those piers i love pier pictures let me take a few ones
oh man it's really annoying i thought i recorded like 10 minutes of one of the most fun rides
oh that's terrible well it was really fun there was a bit with the loose sand
going downhill and then it was super super fun trail but you can see even now it's nice
but that that part was something else i'm so upset i didn't press the record button
this is not paved this is basically rocks giant rocks
oh wow what a view
let me stop here there's a lake or the sea
i made myself a sandwich but it's bumping everywhere
what a fun ride this morning very fun south by cycle
maybe i should lower the pressure of my tires a little bit more
oops i lost my sandwich terrible terrible
reverse reverse i need to secure this bag, my food bag a little better
a sandwich and i had this chocolate this is my favorite chocolate in finland it's called geisha it's super super good
let's see how i'm gonna secure this bag i think i'll place it here and i'll do one of my
sailor knot i'm famous for, seriously i need to learn a few knots, i learned one from
msr gear
youtube
they have a videos with a few knots that are useful but i forgot them
let's go guys, let's go, let's have some fun
this part of the trail was amazing
Loviisa we're going back i don't know if i have to go that way or this way, i need to zoom in
i'll stay on this double track for at least five kilometers
this road was quite slow because they just put gravel
and it slowed me down and there's a lot of headwind
but i think now
i go left around the opposite direction i should get a briefly some tailwind
oh this is even slower at least i don't have the headwind
i think they are fixing the roads for the winter
look at the speed now we have a bit of tailwind
and uh it's hard packed dirt, no effort 32 kilometers almost 31 kilometers
what a difference the headwind
think i need to turn right here let me check
indeed i need to turn right
i think it's about 10 kilometers i have to follow this road for 10 kilometers
this should be fun in in the forest because you got less less wind
there are a couple of kilometers of paved road now
but the most concerning thing right now is that
i feel a bit of rain coming
it's a very very light drizzle carried by the wind
so hopefully
it doesn't turn into real rain
looks like the rain has stop for the moment
let's hope so
it's getting darker and darker
not sure i can dodge the rain today
i really don't want any rain today
i'm also super tired i don't know why
i had loads of food yesterday
i had carbs i had proteins
i had a box of beans and chickpeas and
last night
i have fruit
i had two three apples
i don't know what it is but i'm super tired
i stopped to
a gas station for like 30 40 minutes because i had gotten pretty cold
and i wanted to warm up, got a hot chocolate and chilled a little bit
now the last part, it's only 25 kilometers
to Porvoo
put my showers pass jacket on to keep a bit warm and yeah tomorrow is gonna be pretty cold
i'm 10 kilometers away from Porvoo maybe 12 today to the center of the village
and this is the paved road they will take me there, nice and easy the last 10 kilometers
i have arrived to my host house and it rained the last kilometer
a little shower just enough to piss me off but i'm Porvoo
