Today I walked for four hours at Liesjärvi National Park, exploring the area between Korteniemi and Kyynärä. The smaller paths were in some places obstacle courses due to fallen trees.

Today I got a puncture in the rear tire of the bicycle, and I had still 1/3 of the way home left. Luckily the puncture happened near a bus stop.
At home I changed the tire, both the inner and outer one. There was a 5 mm long slash in the inner tire, made by something sharp. The puncture happened not far from the place where a similar thing happened last spring.
I was a bit surprised to get a puncture. The Swalbe Kojak outer tire has puncture protection, but I guess it isn't foolproof. I replaced it with a Marathon Plus tire. A couple of years ago I used a pair of Marathon Plus tires, and never got puctures. They lasted until they were completely worn out and had to be replaced.

This morning I walked for two hours at Oittaa, circling around lake Sorlampi. There was some fog but that cleared up soon. It has been several months since I last visited Oittaa, but I remembered the paths quite well. Last winter I walked there almost every week, and even managed to get somewhat lost a couple of times.

This week was good for commuting by bicycle, and I got 178 km of riding. So far this year I have 4534 km, of which 3015 km since the beginning of May. At the end of the year 6000 km seems to be possible.
However, my weight has gone up 4 km kg since the beginning of the summer. I guess I have been a bit too hungry.
