Default Around Lake Paijanne Race in Finland

Three more nights and then it starts.

Three long days, 1028 km total, 29 special tests, mud, snow, ice, water, rocks, roots, dark at nights... If someone was in Finland during last ISDE you can maybe imagine what it is

It's again time for the years toughest enduro race in Finland!

I'm participating that event second time. My goal is to finish succesfully. Last year I did.

I have now 6 hours in my new 300r. If I succeed there will be about 30 hours.

Keep your fingers crossed!

That was ultimate setup for me...
Now trying something else for a while...

Yes. I hope that one pair of Mitas studded tyres lasts the whole race.

Thumbs up

I struggle to ride consistently through ruts, after watching those videos I might hang up my boots

Good luck and keep us posted on your results

Cheers
