Clarification

Last night, Alex had a plan. It called for getting a train to Tikkurilla, in Vantaa, and pedalling along the scenic route to Kerava (a route that runs away from Helsinki), then returning home via train from Kerava.

As I mentioned the conditions were bizarre (climbing a couple of metres could bring the temperature and humidity up so dramatically that my glasses would fog) and conspired to slow us down, or have us loose our way in the middle of nowhere, so that when we finally reached the train station at Kerava, at midnight, we were 11 minutes late for the last train. Two hours later, with a total trip distance of 80km, we rolled into Helsinki, and about 15 minutes after that I crawled in to bed.
