Summer is for riding

Summer in Finland is short and the winter is long. So the winter is time for building and summer is for riding. Also, I have been saving money for the parts and drawing sketches of the frame. More about this at some point but now for something different.

Different bike shows are, of course, good places to meet people, to get ideas and to have some fun.

It has been a damn rainy summer (yeah california, the opposite of what you have), but we have made one trip to Sweden and one to Joutsa. Both happenings were bikes, beer and tent on a field type of scenarios. It's truly amazing what some people can build - it is inspiring in a way but also it makes one wonder about his own skills (or the lack thereof) - but to live is to learn, or to ride or what ever makes you smile and wanting for more.
