Vuoksenniskantie bike path

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

not too bad, mostly runs in a separate alignment next to an arterial, but the (fairly short) section through central Vuoksenniska in the middle is a bit dodgy, as well as the asphalt in the northern end

Ruokolahti Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Very imposing old wooden church. Seems to have been built extra large so that you can already see it from accross the bay.

Äitsaarentie Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

not too busy, rolling hills throughout, good asphalt, runs through the forest with a few fields so no lakeside views on this segment

Lempiäläntie–Äitsaarentie Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

quiet, enough rolling hills to foster at least one worldtour pro, okay asphalt, mostly in the forest but lakeside views in the southeastern end

July 8, 2023,Saimaa Cycle Tour 85km 🇫🇮 🌞🌞🌧🌩

The Saima Cycle Tour 85km route was very nice. Highly recommended. The start was at 10:24 a.m. Everything well organized. The roads are not closed, but cars are always stopped at the crossings. It's less of a race and more of a togetherness. At the aid stations at km 20 and 40 it was more common to eat cinnamon buns …

July 5, 2023,Saimaa cycle tour warmup #1

There was an ambitious group on the way. For me it was the first ride in full rain without rain gear, but at 15 degrees it was okay. After all, the wind died down during the tour. Cycling in Eastern Finland is a great thing!
