🚴♂️ Bikepacking Finland – Day 1: Espoo to Mäntsälä 🌲
The adventure begins! In this episode, I kick off a multi-day bikepacking journey through Southern Finland, joined by Irina for the first leg. We start from Espoo and ride through Vantaa, Tuusula, Järvenpää, and Mäntsälä — covering 95 kilometers with scenic backroads, peaceful countryside, and a cozy tent night in the forest.
Along the way, I share tips for first-time bikepackers, like the real challenge of packing after a night in a tent (especially if it rains — luckily it didn’t this time!).
🚴♀️ Highlights:
• Gravel roads, forests, and Finnish lake views
• Bikepacking advice for beginners
• Chill riding with Irina
• First night camping setup
• Peaceful nature and quiet roads
