The thickest ice in ages.

The thickest ice in ages. Took my bike and rode 10 km straight out on the Gulf of Finland to our sailing club's island. So my #fatbike ride was 12.5 nautical miles. Battery died a few kms out. It's a pig to pedal without the assistance. #BikeTooter

@harald You just need a little wind and a fat bike sail.

[harald@mementomori.social]

@jerzone -12 ⁰C so prefer no wind.

According to Copernicus satellite images, the edge of the ice is much farther out still

It feels appropriate to supply a screenshot of the route using marine charts

@harald A new kind of Winter Biathlon emerges in 🇫🇮❕

@harald beutiful. I just went to little jog on sea. Yesterday skiing around the nearby gulf. So sweet light on pure snow, and no wind.

@harald I read this some years ago: https://happyride.se/forum/threads/rr-pa-isen-till-aland.3310344/

Looks fantastic! (And a little scary)

[harald@mementomori.social]

@atmospheric_cyclist I remember that one

@harald That last photo makes me jealous, wow.
