In 2017, the plan was to do a strict 6-day ride from Velo to Utsjoki and back, 2700 km when Finland celebrated 100 year independency. However, this was not implemented.
2023 was next target year but unfortunately the riding wasn't happen.
Now 2024 is the year redeem the promises.
My head needs a goal to make the workouts enjoyable. As I write this at the beginning of February, the training sessions do feel wonderful and I am really looking forward to the next training session. The training amounts and levels have been raised to a "comfortable" level.
This time, we don't set a time limit and start to push the work to the limit, but start and drive brisk trips, but also give space to sleep in the progress. The route has been drawn and such 3,021 km seemed to be coming (meters of elevation 41.354).
Good training for spring and early summer, then tighten the chains when the time is right.
This time too, I didn't make the round trip to Finland. However, I had good trips during the summer of 2024, using my home office as a place to stay, so I could cover the kilometers a little more cheaply.
In May, not participating in the 4-day 1,600 km in Denmark (we are developing something to replace this).
