Back on bike!

Okay, early on Friday morning I shoved my bike in the back of my '91 Astra and headed east, to Joensuu city. I planned to visit my family on holidays and hoped to make up some time to ride and test Joensuu's new concrete park. And boy did I ride...

Rode the whole Friday evening/ night and again on Saturday morning. Park was pretty decent and something unbelievable in a scale of Joensuu.

The park itself isn't that big but in my opinnion it many different lines to ride. Although it is mainly meant for skateboards ( I think) there was still plenty to ride on a bike also. Nice transition from pool to bank, step-up banks, stairs and flat-to-kink down rail. Next I visit the park here will be more pictures of it, not just a "sneak peek". Hopefully some riding pics also.

This trip got me on the bike after years and Im quite stoked about that. We'll see where it'll take me, haha.

But 'till next time, stay tuned for more Raju stuff...
