Ice and snow here too. Berofe Zwift an hour indoors was dull. Now I can take a 3-4 hour dose :)

Here at the Northernmost outskirts of Europe it's difficult to get mileage in the winter as it's snowy and icy. Happily we Finns got a wonderful summertime too. So from May to August: 1112 - 1097 -...

On Saturday I was leading a pack of 20 riders in the countryside at 45 km/h (27,5 mph), and gasping for air... and some bigger bug flew flush to the throat. A good excuse to slow down and to cough...

Sure, why not come and visit our ride! As you've done such a long trip from CAN to AUS, it'll be no problem for you to pop Finland. This is a compact planet, isn't it :)

From Northern European perspective it seems apparent that steel is becoming as scarce as hen's teeth. Not many want to buy steel instead of alu or carbon.

Carbon fibre and aluminium dominate, that's a fact. If you read closely 2008 catalogue, you'll find also titanium (S9 and Oetzi) and steel (Pista) frames.
