| Night-skating at lake Kylänjärvi. With ice hockey skates, long ski poles and a halogen head lamp. First time ever for me this kind! Awesome skating conditions: gliding black ice, temp +2 C, ice depth about 10 cm, no cracks at all, almost full moon. Wind breeze 3-5 m/s helping and hampering, depending on turn. The other guys (orhi, jorkka, joopi, manne, henkka) skated with those free heels, except arttu and me. Few pics, thanks Juha! |

| Monday evening run from Siiri statue. 0 °C, nice running weather. The group: Timmy, Ironman, A.Le and Voima-Heikki. Heikki gave up after 45min, maybe didn't have enough voima today:) The rest of the gang tried to follow the Lehmus (Ulmus) route around Lahti City. Little, white lehmus signs were not so easy to spot at dark. We did on purpose some extra loops at Ruoriniemi and Joutjärvi - very nice sceneries, lake shore, black ice and bright city christmas lights. Our route from Timmy's Garmin:
