Ruska 2023 E1: not so smooth preparations 😅

Показать описание

I'm participating in a ~2100 km ultra distance cycling event Ruska 2023. Ruska 2023 starts on Friday 15.9. at 19:58 o’clock at sunset from Liepāja, Latvia. Ruska’s approximately 2000 km route visits significant locations of Finland’s wars and peaces. Start is from Holy Trinity church in Liepāja where the first Finnish oath of enlistment was sworn and finish is Muotkatakka at Kilpisjärvi from where the last artillery bombardment of Lapland war was fired.

Participants have 8 days, 4 hours and 10 minutes to ride their self made route via certain checkpoints. Private resupply is forbidden so participants can only use equally available services such as shops and restaurants. You may cheer on the participants, but helping them, even online, is forbidden.
