I rode a slow 116k to Tammisaari into a strong and steady headwind on Tuesday. Back home 113k on Friday with a much nicer back/side wind. With less weight in the bags and a bit more training a 200k brevet ride now seems more realistic than before.

Critical Bikeride, April 2012
Hey I'm trying the OpenStreetMap plugin for wordpress. It should allow showing maps, places, and GPX-tracks in the blog.
They did have a critical bikeride in March already this year, but it was quite snowy and rainy so I didn't participate.
Today there were 130-140 participants.
Last year I think I participated in these events to raise awareness for bicycling four times: June, August, September, and October.
April
April marks the beginning of spring, with warm and dry weather. Witness my commuter-bike this morning:
