Herajoki, Finland. The first of many.

This was a warm up day which ended up being pretty spectacular in the end. We started off messing about in the rocky trails around lake Herajärvi, and then rode over to lake Pielinen.

The trails were nice for the most part and the weather was perfect. True to our nature, we ventured into some off-off-road and ran out of trail, ending up pushing our bikes up overgrown forest. Still, it was Finnish summer at its best. After all the hard work we went for a swim in the long deserted beach of Pielinen. True bliss.

The Herajoki river ha a ford just before the beach. We took the opportunity to ride over it several times and managed to get some nice pics.
