Day 46 | Taipa - Oulu - Raahe | 156 KM | 225 HM

 

As the landscape is so unexciting, I get into real relaxation. Today I devoted myself to the balance of my right-left distribution. The imbalance had increased more and more in Norway (right 44 % - left 56 %). Since there are so few distractions here, I can concentrate on it better. So in the morning I tried to kick more than 50% on the right. Then in the afternoon I didn't have to concentrate on it so much. Very interesting.

 

After about 60 km we reached Oulu. At 12:00 we had an appointment with Urpo Täskinnen at the cathedral. Some of you know Urpo from YouTube films. He lives in the north of Sweden. He has a Lapphund, which he sometimes takes with him on the QV or lets run alongside. Once he went to the climate conference in Paris with his QV.

 

He told us Oulu has the best cycling network of Finland, Sweden and Norway. That's probably why we met so many cyclists around the university town today. Maybe even more than in Oslo.

 

I thought Finland was more about the old American cars. I guess the trend has stopped. Here in the north there are still many diesel and petrol cars. Many of them very old. E-cars are still few and far between.
