We joined up with the Finnish Archipelago Trail towards Turkku on the 4th day of our Bike Tour around the Åland Islands. We had some lovely weather in the morning, but had to cut the day short due to Malin’s back pains. We just barely made it to Naantali Camping before the rain was upon us. Finland was a really nice country to tour in and I’m certain we’ll be back soon.

  1. Hello Again, Another nice video thank you. You are blessed to have a wife that is as strong cyclist as you are and who enjoy going with you on these camping trips..

  2. Hej, that ice cream was almost in you face 😂. You always eat so well on tour, your food always looks delicious.
    What language did you speak in Finland?
    I watched the film 'Midsommar' the other day, it's not the bears you need to worry about.
    Take care Ed.

  3. Bike tech nerd here! What bike and panniers does your wife use? With respect to her back, we both have ibuprofen ready for exactly that, and, maybe have her do a bike fit if back pain continues to nag her. We both changed bars and saddles which solved our pain woes. 🙂

  4. More lush scenery. I guess all that snow is good for something. I think it is cool that Malin joined you for this tour. Malin, I have back issues and know how painful that can be. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that you join Mikel on future tours. Also, curious about the tent you are using.

  5. Another great one Mikael! We have something in common…we both have a weakness for ice cream. It's my number one weakness! Anyway, keep them coming and they are getting better and better. Stunning views too! Take care friend, Ken.

  6. OMG! When you drove over that bridge I recognized it! It's Ukkopekan Silta, over which our bus drove every day. We had to take the public bus from Rymättylä to Turku, and we got off in Naantali where our school was, and we had to pay a mark each way. No school buses. But I was so lucky to grow up there! I've been gone now for 52 years… Thank you for showing me this!

  7. Mike, please forgive me, but I believe that Turku is Finnish name

    Turku (/ˈtʊərkuː/ TOOR-koo;[9][10] Finnish: [ˈturku] (About this soundlisten); Swedish: Åbo, Finland Swedish: [ˈoːbu] (About this soundlisten); Latin: Aboa; Russian: Турку, formerly Або)
