We rode to Väransby, seeing 44 deers on the way. We had some self made energy bar, pulla and some tea while the sun was taking all the colours along. A sub24 candidate visited us in pitch darkness, got amazed of the place and shared a cup of tea before leaving. We hope to get more camping enthusiast! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The wine tasted good under the stars, though all the heat of the world was radiating away in the outer space. But no chill resists a good plate of pasta. The fox wanted his share and came circling around us with is bright eyes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finland is a good place for those who want to watch sunset, sleep 8 hours and see sunrise. The dawn was breathtaking, so much beauty to take at once, I nearly fainted. Hot tea and banana bread got us full of energy and we started an amazing ride home. Everybody knows what Saturday means: we barely saw two deers, while we spotted 30 hunters getting ready. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A taste of winter with the colours of autumn.

We went camping to a gorgeous spot by the sea in Koppernäs. The wind from the sea was freezing, the sun was playing hide-and-seek with the clouds while dispensing a colorful light and sometimes a short snowfall was adding to the wonder of the moment. The migratory seabirds had only one thought in mind: find a partner and little piece of rock for the spring, which made an entertaining show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These seabirds, they have quite outdated mating protocol I would say. Eight Eider dudes were harassing a single Eider girl, chasing her, jumping on her, fighting between each other and shouting at her while making the chest large. Very inappropriate indeed. The swans didn't behave better, always aggressive, flying into each other, fighting incessantly for a miserable piece of shore. So uneducated.<br />

The way there was uneventful, a peaceful ride through a king bridge, huge fields and smaller roads. We could see rain falling further, but our route didn't cross one of these rain clouds. Lucky us. The most notable incident was the inexplicable loss of the fishing lure of one of our riders.<br />
<br />
We had a lazy morning, some fishing, some hiking by the shore and exploring the beautiful nature of the peninsula. We got some notable example of Finnish sisu with the little tree below that grows straight from a tiny hole in the rock, serving a life sentence of exposure to wind and frost, unable to growth from the lack of space for the roots. There might be some sort of fulfillment to endure decades of hardship without giving up, a sort of full acceptance of one's destiny. However, there might be more enviable fate to live and I recommend all of us to take good care of our karma to avoid rebirth as a pine growing in such conditions. You can avoid that by refraining from insulting strangers in the street.<br />

Why the idiots you may ask? A lady full of self-importance came up with the idea when she said that straight to my face while we were riding three of us in Espoo. I am not sure exactly why, since we were only three of us and it is challenging to go closer than the safety distance while riding a bicycle. The current situation gives to some people the feeling they can insult openly other people if they have slight difference in interpretation of the strictness of the public health recommendations. I think we will need more than just keeping safe distance to survive this pandemic, also support, understanding and a sense of human dignity, which certainly does not allow us to insult people in the street. So let's have a good look at this tree, think of our karma and behave like educated people. </div>

<br />
We ended our remote work day early and jumped on our bikes, except for one of us that got its bike stolen the previous night. Take good care of these bicycles even in indoor storage. Sub24 people are very resourceful and an extra bike was found.<br />
<br />
We had a lovely ride to Linlo, keeping carefully social distancing while catching up with the latest news. We spotted many deers in the Kirkkonummi country-side. The island was quite full from people grilling sausages in the evening, but we were lucky to find a good spot that has just been freed.<br />
<br />
Polish tea and cinnamon rolls were shared in the sharing and caring tradition of sub24 before we set up our night equipment. Rapidly we were set and preparing our dinner for which water sea water was needed. The rocks were extremely slippery and steep by the water and it was fortunate that absolutely NOBODY fell in the water with bell pepper and phone, because the water was cold and the wind chilly. Fortunately some spare clothes could have been found in case somebody went in the water by accident and the grill had glass windows offering a good protection from the wind.<br />
<br />
I fell asleep in my hammock, breathing the fresh outdoor air and I realised how much I had missed those nights out.<br />
<br />
The next morning was glorious, sun high up, beautiful sea and plentiful breakfast table. Some tried their luck at fishing, while some other went exploring the island. The day visitors were already pouring in. We headed back to Espoo while the day felt as warm as July.<br />
<br />
Note: sub24 recommends to gather in small number only and keep a safety distance- from each other and from slippery rocks. We don't publish invitation during the epidemic to avoid creating large gathering. However, feel free to contact one of the organizer to join/organize a sub24!<br />

The last snow flakes?After two weeks of sunny mild weather, the arctic weather system decided to expand over Europe bringing freezing temperature just in time for our sub24! Despite a bitterly cold wind, we were four to ride our bicycles happily towards the mighty wood of Nuuksio. We went along Pitkäjärvi, turned towards Kolmperä and started to push the bicycles for the last 700 m to Urja, which was a bit adventurous especially the narrow bridges for our loaded bicycles.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lovely campsite of Urja was waiting for us, empty. A fire was quickly set up and we could enjoy some evening sun and the majestic view towards the lake. However tempting it was, nobody indulged in a swim. Some good food was soon simmering, asparagus and smoked salmon rice, rabbit stew and other delicacies that are common sight among the sub24 foodies. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We all slept well despite the group of scouts having a good evening not so far from us. The night went as cold to -4°C. I am well equipped for cold weather, no problem, but I wonder why we seem to always get this extreme weather on sub24. All the Finnish problems were forgotten when I find myself enjoying some banana bread with a freshly brewed coffee, while some sun light broke through the cloud while a light snow fall started. The sight was of utter beauty.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was hoping to return through part of the reitti 2000, but a screw of my rack broke, leaving half of it in the frame. The situation was saved using a useful rope and more importantly by the solidarity of the group that took a big part of the weight off my rack. Thanks for that and thanks for this beautiful trip.<br />
<br />
When is the next sub24? Contact us to suggest a date.<br />

<br />
Despite the temperature went chilly again, we cycle again to the woods for a night of camping in Nuuksio.<br />
<br />
See you at Bemböle shell gas station at 17:30 on 3.5. We will ride together to Nuuksio and have a lovely time.<br />

<b>12.04 Väransby report</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes you think that you might just be two to the sub24 and a few regulars pop up by surprise and three join through word-to-mouth (a chat seems to often beat these gigantic data server regarding communication efficiency). So we ride from Otaniemi to Väransby, meeting freely along the way and as far as at the camping. We took the out-of-the-beaten track road in the Kirkkonummi countryside. Lazy deers were grazing and resting in a pack of 16 in the fields, enjoying watching our struggle on the dirt road.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Väransby did not disappoint us one more time. While we were sipping Polish tea watching the last waves dissolving in the evening calm and forming this bright mirror surface and these sharp tree silhouettes on the islands. There was a consensus that the air was chilly and no swimmers went to break this perfect stillness of the water.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New people, new habits. Delicious marinated steaks were grilled among all the other delicious food that comforted us. The deluxe item tradition is still strong. The fire kept us warm and long awake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On our way back, we stopped at the landvik kyläkauppa for morning coffee. The group slowly diverged and we were two to follow the beautiful sea shore of Espoo all the way to Tapiola. The crispy temperature kept the path conveniently uncrowded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for the very nice company, welcome again to the newcomers! As usual feel free to bring friends and colleagues along.</div>

The snow made a winter wonderland of Helsinki, which should be properly acknowledged by a sub24 skiing edition.<br />
<br />
Next trip is on 15.02, meeting at 17:30 at the parking of Oittaa for a ski and camping trip. Weather will be very warm!<br />
<br />
If you intend to join, it is good to contact us by email (for ride sharing for example).<br />

There were not
enough sub24 organised this year, so we decided to go <i>ex tempore</i> for
a december cycling trip. As often, when we set the date, the weather forecast turned ugly. We cycled together from
Bemböle to a fireplace near Kattilajärvi. Continuous snowfall kept
us company, giving a magic winter feeling to our forest ride. The
snow was light, fluffy and gorgeous. We could not get too much of it.
At Kattilajärvi, we had to cross a couple of lakes to reach the
fireplace. Fortunately thick ice made the endeavour easy. As I crossed the lake, I looked at my fellow cyclists and could only see some light spot moving around. It was beautiful.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We stopped, pitched
tents and light a heart-warming (and limb-warming) fire and proceeded
to the eating arrangements. Soon, the saucisson was sliced and shared
and the delicious smells of various food were floating around us.
Perhaps the cheese fondue was dominating. Some <i>Pino Grigio</i> and some
glöggi were shared, while we were eating joulutorttu and chocolate
banana were getting grilled on the fire. This was pikkujoulu and indeed
we ate and drank plenty.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We went to sleep,
while the temperature rised slightly above zero, transforming this
fairy tell landscape into a dripping wet landscape. Who would
complain, it is always so wonderful to wake up in the forest. After
breakfast, we met a group of skaters that were planing to enjoy the
same lake we planed to ride. After this unusual encounter of cyclists
and skaters, we cycled back through the forest. It was slippery and
sleet and rain starts to fall gently, keeping us fully moist. At
Bemböle, the situation deteriorate further, some headed to
Kauniainen train station while I continued towards Tapiola. It felt like
the sky was full of water. All these goretex
layers, supposedly taking 600 mm column of water, started to give up
and give way to the stubborn rain. I arrived happy for a warm shower
while setting all my cloth including my underwear to dry. Sometimes
the only thing that doesn’t get wet is the high spirit, which is <i>de
rigueur</i> in sub24.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Thank you for the
trip, looking forward another round.Olivier</div>

<br />
As you probably noticed, the last few weeks have not been kind to the cyclist/camper, and as a result we put the Sub24 outings on hold for now.<br />
<br />
However shall dry/sunny/snowy weather come back, please do look at the blog as we might organize a some Sub24 then. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, wax your skis, sharpen your skates, and put some air in your tires, and remember the good winters:<br />

<br />
Sub-24 will be rolling again on Friday 06/10. <br />
<br />
Details will follow, but expect a 17:30 departure from Bemböle heading on asphalt towards Vaakkoi for a trip with a difference...<br />
<br />
------ <br />
02/10 update, all details revealed! <br />
<br />
Special destination for this autumn edition of Sub24: the eräkämppä of Suomen Latu in Vaakkoi. The kämppä is located halfway between Luukki and Salmi, a short distance from Vihdintie. Expect a 15-20 km bike ride from Bemböle.<br />
<br />
The kämppä is well equipped with beds and mattresses, cooking stove, a wooden sauna with a lake view (and easy access for swimming) and outdoor toilets.<br />
<br />
If you are a member of Helsingin Latu the price of the night (including the sauna use) is 6 euros. For non-members, 11 euros. The number of places is limited, so let us know on this blog/by email/on facebook by Wednesday 4/10 in the evening if you're planning to join.<br />
<br />
Note: Vaakkoi has a talkoot at 10 am on Saturday 07/10 so we'll have to be ready to leave around that time. Or give an helpful hand for those who wish.<br />
<br />
See you on Friday in Bemböle at 17.30!<br />
<br />
- Florian.<br />

<br />
For this special edition, sub24 headed to the archipelago of Helsinki on kayak. Departure from the remote harbour of Laajalahti, between the bird protected area and the Gallén-Kallela museum, which are worth a visit by the way. It took a bit of time to get the equipment sorted out under constant assault from flying blood sucking monsters, but we managed to launch the kayak and start paddling. A light breeze prevented us from suffering from heat and we happily progressed on the water. The group included a broad range of kayaking skills but nobody had major trouble with their kayak. We passed by Madeluoto, in front of Otaranta, under the bridge to Otaniemi and took a break on Keilalahti to enjoy some sweets and rest our arms. We resume the trip, passed the gorgeous Koivusaari metro station, went to the south side of Lautasaari and arrived finally to the welcoming sand beach of Käärmeluoto after seven kilometers of paddling.<br />

We explored this beautiful island and set camp at the top. The island is made of a pretty high rock, which offers splendid views on the archipelago and on Lautassari. To the east, some islets offer breeding ground to ever screeching birds to remind us that we sit at a major hub for bird migration. Despite the noise and their well-established aggressivity, I esteem these long-distance travellers, that have seen quite a bit of sea and storms in their life. Anyway, at this time of the year, they are busy shouting at each other non-stop for a month and a half. <br />

A very important time at each sub24 started: the cooking of the evening meal. Chips, cake and red wine were offered around and soon pasta, risotto, new potatoes and herring and other delicacies were ready. By the time we were finished, the clouds were mostly gone to unveil a spectacular sunset, which kept us busy until midnight. Birds had find louder than themselves and some loud karaoke was going on at the mökki of the Police.<br />

The following morning was bright and windless. We slowly enjoyed our breakfast and headed to the kayak, just to see a very frightened rantakäärme, a harmless black snake. The weather was so warm that a few of us decided to play with kayak with some kayak capsizing, self re-entry, mostly failed eskimo rolls and balance exercise. The water was chilly and it took me a few hours to be completely warmed up after that. We headed back with a slightly longer route to the harbour and we arrive tired and hungry as usual. Thanks to everybody for joining! Olivier<br />

P.S.: Thanks to Tuisku Pirttimäki for the pictures.<br />

<br />
May 5th, on your bikes!<br />
<br />
Meeting place: Bemböle gas sation (check the <a href="http://sub24helsinki.blogspot.fi/p/destinations.html" target="_blank">map</a>)<br />
<br />
Time: 17.30<br />
<br />
Direction: somewhere green, to be agreed on the spot on Friday<br />
<br />
---<br />
Despite the best weather we've seen in 2017 nobody except me showed up to Bemböle (please comment if you were there and I missed you!).<br />
<br />
Since camping is really for me about sharing a camp with like minded people I made the most of the sunshine with a "grand tour of Espoo" taking me all around the big "city" in 63 wonderful kilometers before heading home for the night.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we'll see a better turnout next time (Friday 2nd of June, save the date!).<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">We met in the Shell Service Station at 17:30 as the rain began to fall. British, French and Ukrainian riders took the asphalt cycle paths towards Nuuksio. We turned left to follow the road on the south side of Nuuksio’s Pitkäjärvi. The followed the road to its end through rain, sun and cloud, past buses and newly returned birds all the way to the end of the road. We turned off the asphalt onto gravel and ice and continued much more slowly to our campsite at Kolmoislampi. We made our own shelter and managed without a fire as the snow began to fall. After a cold night, hot tea and porridge warmed us up ready for a sunny ride back to Bemböle and beyond. </span><br />
